Looking at upgrading your rig on any budget? Look no further than this!
There's never a dull moment in the computing industry. Whether it's a clash between gigantic corporations, the introduction of brand new technologies, or the inviting grin when price cuts are on their merry way - there's always something to read about. Recently it's the declining economic situation, which has shifted our dollar down a fair few cents over the past months. As a result there has been a surge in PC component prices. Fortunately, this doesn't mean us consumers can't indulge in a high performance PC rig. As they say, where there is a will, there is a way - and at Atomic, we will always have a way!
For the purpose of this guide, five carefully designed systems have been produced, all of which cover separate price points. From the 'budget box' at under $1000, to the extreme performance build at a whopping $7000, there is something for everyone. Each build integrates the best components at their respective price points, with the aim of providing maximum performance. All part prices are calculated via staticICE. An average of the first 10 results is calculated (minus outliers) to allow for a realistic price representation. Peripherals have not been included as they are largely personal preference.
