For most folks $1,500 is a high end PC. $500 is a budget PC.

Also I can't believe that for $1,500 they went with a Micro-ATX motherboard and a e6300...

Well, obviously this is only 1 interpretation of options these days and meant only as a guide. And, in this era of $3000 to $5000 boutique PCs it's a good start. There are lots of options that cost more and lots that cost less.

LOL, I've never spent more than $1200 or so on a gaming system.

$1500 for a DX10 system from the ground up? Beats the crap out of Dell.

LOL, that's one the cheapest ways of getting a budget gaming system.

The guide talks about the "recently released" 320MB 8800GTS as a cheaper alternative to the 640MB version. I think it's a little old 😛. Also, I'm sure there's cheaper stuff than the mandatory Corsair stuff they threw in.

A few months is a little old? Life seems long when you are 14, no?

I'm not 14, and a few months is a world of time when you're talking about something as volatile as the PC industry, let alone the GPU industry.
