I finally got it built and tested: OK sorry for the delay in updating but work has been so busy! Here are some basic tests on the new $600 PC. $750 ish counting the OS, tax and shipping fees. Compared the other uploaded baselines this PC is very good; based on price vs performance its DAMN good. I am very happy with the real-world results as well. I know for a fact I trust this PC over anything at retail AND I simply killed it with my build cost and NO BLOATWARE. I am back in the belief that the average Joe & Jane can benefit from a self-build by learning a new skill and saving some money.
