The main problems with building a new gaming rig is that it’s so expensive and there’s a lot of research to be done =/

ang aga mag rant!
I've given up on doing enough research for an optimal performance/ price rig. I just go to pcexpress with an approximate list and substitute out whatever is out of stock. Anyway, unless one is spending ridiculous amounts for the bleeding edge video cards, good enough is actually pretty powerful because developers have to limit requirements to console specs.
it's easy when you have a limited budget LOL
I agree. Research is really a must when deciding which gaming rig to get among MacBook Pro, iMac, and Mac Pro.
you make it sound tedious but I find it exciting. =D if you're building a desktop rig, i would suggest dynaquest. surprisingly, my 3-year old, mid-range setup isn't too far off from Fallout 4's recommended settings.
Your rig will work around your budget. With a budget in mind, it's easier to pick which parts to get. I'll pm you a website for parts. :)
Ang aga mo din, diba hapday ka :p Every time mag review ako nung parts I want to buy, tumataas ng onti yung cost haha
This. So much. And if there's a developer who likes to push the envelope, the game has a high chance to get into development hell anyway.
The research is more of to figure out which components have known problems - so that when I'm there and have to substitute I don't choose something flaky :p
Sometimes that information is not immediately obvious. On my last build, the Palit video card I chose would not work at all with my Gigabyte motherboard. Took a fair amount of googling to find just one forum post with the same problem. I ended up exchanging the vc for an MSI one.
Paul Villangca Way too slack to build my own. I have the shop build/ configure it.
I didnt need help :p nakabili na
