Recently, I decided to endeavor around $800 to build my own computer. I had gotten tired of using a craptastic computer (90s case, 2k3 hardware or something among that line) so I decided to upgrade but build it myself. The parts came awhile ago and I managed to built with no problems and I happen to be typing on it Some specs: Case: Raidmax Smilodon ATX-612WB Windows: Windows 7 Home Edition (64-bit) Memory (RAM): 8 GB CPU Info: AMD Phenomâ„¢ II X4 925 Processor CPU Speed: 2806.8 GHz Display Adapter: NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 (Zotac brand) Network Adapter: ASUS 802.11n Wireless LAN Card CD / DVD Drives: D: ASUS DRW-24B1ST Hard Disks: C: 40GB (SSD) Manufacturer: American Megatrends Inc. Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC. M4A87TD/USB3 When I'm not feeling so lazy, I'll post some pictures of my beautiful machine. Then again, my SD card is in my laptop...and I have no lcue with my laptop is. Besides, I need to buy some aftermarket stuff anyway. My graphics card is overheating a lot so I need a fan, and my SSD has only 8 GB left so I need a bigger second SSD.

In a sense. They are far quicker. I think about 80 fold, if I recall correctly. However, to get one of any decent size, you need to shell out far too much cash. The reason I have 2.75TB of space is because I actually use it, and there is no way my HDDs are going to cost three times as much as the rest of my computer.
