In case you want to ask in here, you could give it a whirl over at http://choosemypc.net/ first, then discuss benefits/drawbacks/improvements over here ;) http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/User:Akita_T Build your own EVE PC http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=1559734 |

Interesting. Won't work properly on my work browser, but I'll give it a closer look when I get home. |

Apart from the fact that I am from neither of those countries, this is pretty amazing.
Bookmarked for future reference. |

I don't like that it only suggests SLI builds when going over a certain budget. For a site that's supposed to recommend newbie builds that's a strange choice imho.
They should really include more modifiers aswell.
If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all... |

And after suggesting an SLI build it states: "This build is overkill for gaming on a single 1080 monitor. Invest in a 1440p/120Hz/triple monitor setup."
Well, duh.
Don't go SLI and use the money from the second graphics card for a decent monitor, tbqfh.
Still, it may give people some ideas. |

I was looking at building: ASUS Z-87 Pro V Intel LGA1150 Motherboard Intel i5-4670K 3.4 GHz 6MB Cache Haswell CPU (stock cooler) Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600Mhz RAM Samsung EVO 1TB SSD EVGA GTX770 2GB Video Card Corsair Carbide 500R Case Corsair HX-750 750W PSU Optical Drive Windows 7 OS
for about $1800.00 and that site recommended a build with 2 GTX780s and no case or power supply.
I don't want to use by old beat up case with busted front door panel and worn out fans...
Is a i7 necessary for up and coming games? And what about a video card with more than 2 GB of VRAM - is that necessary for games like Skyrim that is heavily modded with hi res texture pack and an ENB? |

I have the exact same processor and graphics card and the same amount of RAM for almost a year now and it runs Eve and Skyrim with ease on the highest settings (just don't play Skyrim on anything higher than 60 Hz or the physics go wonky).
I don't think an i7 nor more than 8GB is needed for gaming, but more video RAM could never go amiss.
imo. |

Some stuff can already be edited (SLI cards, case and PSU removed and partially re-added; HDD/SDD size manually set or removed), and I can only assume they might still be tweaking it every now and then for better functionality (no idea how often, if at all). http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/User:Akita_T Build your own EVE PC http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=1559734 |

Meh .. it's too shallow a site for even casual IT folks. Too much cosmetics, too little substance (which seems to be in vogue nowadays). If target audience is for complete newbies (aka almost zero IT knowledge), then consider how many of these "newbies" will actually seriously build their own PCs. It's far more convenient to call Dell or HP or any other major vendors out there.
To be even remotely useful, they need get more technical and give the builders more control. I also shouldn't need to mention that their hardware "suggestions" can be subverted behind the scenes with some kickbacks or referral fees (ala Somer Blink) from vendors - a likely option when you want to monetize the site.
