If you are the type who likes to build their own computers (who isn’t? Oh yeah you Mac people), but haven’t quite kept up with all the latest peripherals then you should check out the Ars Technica System Guide. They offer three different levels of performance:
- The God Box
- The Hot Rod
- The Budget Box
The guide is updated about twice a year so it’s always a good way to compare your system against the best and also provides a quick shopping list for your next system.
