1. not everyone buys high-end computers to play the latest 3D games. Nowadays my PC does more photo editing than gaming. A performance machine is a joy to use, due to how responsive it is... and the only "gaming" component that won't make someone recognize a faster computer under normal use is a high end graphics card.

2. I used to overclock. A lot. I had my 1.6Ghz pentium 4 up to 2.5 or 2.6. But at my age now, I simply can't dedicate the time. I buy high-end components because I am confident they won't fail under use, and won't make my computer unstable. Extra 20% fps doesn't bother me much. If I really need it, I'll buy a new CPU or graphics card. If I can't afford it, then it's too high end and I don't need it.

It's that simple.

Corinthians 13:11
Err.. i think u don't get what im trying to say here...

And the way u said its like a 60bucks Coolermaster V8 will outlast 30bucks AC Freezer 7 Pro?.. or a 280bucks GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD5 will last longer than 200bucks GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R?..

And whats up with the "Corinthians 13:11"?..

People have different opinions, I don't see the issue. After all, it's their money to waste.

BTW, Warcraft III can be insanely demanding if you have enough units in the game as every other RTS.
Yea, but the ppl i know that does this has on a tight budget.. they save and save to get it.

I guess ignorance its a bliss... considering i did try to tell them otherwise.. oh well..

Well, this Q9400 and 8GB of Kingston HyperX DDR2 1066 is insanely responsive in office work!
Those are different hardware, im referring to mobo and other accessories like cpu hsf.

As i said earlier, does a 60bucks Coolermaster V8 outlast and perform faster than a 30bucks AC Freezer 7 Pro?.. or a 280bucks GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD5 will last longer and faster than a 200bucks GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R?..

This its what i meant.. if u peeps didn't understand what im trying to say..

Rig1 : i7-950 + CORSAIR XMS3 4GB DDR3 1600 + GTX480 + Coolermaster V8 ($60) + GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD5 ($280)
vs
Rig2 : i7-950 + CORSAIR XMS3 4GB DDR3 1600 + GTX480 + AC Freezer 7 Pro ($30) + GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R ($200)

Does Rig1 runs faster or last longer than Rig2?.. in all stock/non-tweak setup.

Cheers
