What would you rate as the most imporant component?

[InlineFour]

PSU for me.

 

[Kakumba]

I have always preferred my computers to have all of the above..... except sound card, Karajan module is what its all about.

 

[Firsttime]

If you mean what did I spend the most on, my mouse, but I don't see that option there.

 

[johnnyMon]

They all work together.

I can see why people say PSU, but ive always valued the CPU more. I figure if a comp is built round a good solid CPU then its a good comp Or it at least has potential

Hard disk easily, if any of the others die for some reason it's annoying. But if the hard drive dies then it's a royal pain in the arse.

The mobo is the heart and soul of a system. A crappy one means a world of headaches.

What's imporant ?

 

[ch33zw1z]

I voted motherboard, without a solid motherboard nothing will work right. PSU is just as important however...without a steady current nothing will work at all.

 

[rise]

good round uv cables.

 

[WaTaGuMp]

Monitor since its what I have to look at.

 

[Corporate Thug]

impossible to say most important:

i.e. top end video card can be limited by a celeron 400 mhz, top end CPU can be video limited, crappy PSU will hamper both, who cares if you have a top notch PSU but no hardware to run, etc...

Power cable to the wall outlet or power strip.
