The best part of the PC vs Mac has to be building your own gaming rig. And man, the PC being described below is amazing for the price…

Who needs a mere 4 GHz of processing power these days? Why not double it up, with a dual-core device while you’re at it? Our do it yourself (DIY) project shows how you can build a dual-core CPU PC by buying parts from your friendly neighborhood or online PC component vendor.

It is important to find a processor device with cores designed for a much faster clock than their nominal rating at a speed of up to 4 GHz without problems. With such a CPU and given the right combination of additional parts, you can truly build a high-end PC. And But won’t such a project cost an arm and a leg? Think again: Using our select list of components, costs start at about $720 - including a quiet water cooling rig.

Those who want to build an optimum system might need to spend as much as $1,250 but will obtain a truly unique computing solution. However, by comparison with deals offered by big-name vendors such as Dell Computer, you can spend the same amount of money and wind up with much less PC for your money, not to mention greatly reduced performance….
