Holy stuff that is incredibly overpriced
Ask in the computer megathread, we can put together a much cheaper build that performs even better. At the very least, we can find you a prebuilt that isn't so much of a rip-off



for what do you need 32 gb ram? 8 should be enough unless you are running huge simulations or similar on your computer.

Yeah I'll admit I don't know much about computers, however my Dad picked out all the parts I just talked to him about getting a new gaming PC.. So do you have any recommendations on how he could make it cheaper and better?
