| These kind of reviews are so subjective. Spending an additional $272 for an additional 130MHz is not the kind of choice you make when building an "affordable system". Same goes with the DDR3 1600 vs DDR3 1333, thats $30. The SSD's, affordable... I will say the NVidia 250 GTS card was a good choice. Although alot of the ATI stuff is looking really good from performance to price ratio. I suppose that wouldn't bring in the clicks though. |

I built an i920 system and it is just dandy. Faster than anything else I've ever owned by a long shot.
The money saved by using the inexpensive, but powerful, i920 was put towards a WD Velociraptor and a Radeon HD4870, which the combination of the two gave me FAR more return on the dollar than 130mhz would ever do on the next up i7. |
