High-End Buyer’s Guide

"Choosing the right parts for a computer can be a difficult and time-consuming process. With so many different components and configurations to choose from, you may have a hard time figuring out what exactly to buy. There is no perfect, all-around solution that works for everyone. It all depends on two things: what your needs are and how much money you are willing to spend.

The goal of this guide is to outline an entire high-end computer system for around $3000. This includes the internal hardware, input devices, monitor and speakers (everything but an OS). With this $3000, we want to outline the best all-around system with the highest quality components available. While $3000 may seem like a lot, it can disappear quickly considering all the options. Depending on your individual needs, you may prefer to swap out different components in order to focus more on gaming, multimedia or multitasking. While we will recommend specific components throughout the article, keep in mind that this is just an outline and your idea of a high-end computer may differ from ours."
