So I recently purchased a system (I got the store to build it for me - normally I do it but this is the first time I spent $2000 on a pc since I am tired of playing games on low settings and tired of waiting for 1 hour to render 10 minutes of video footage.) Im 110% happy with the build but Im kinda wondering if going 2011 was a bad idea or not, will I regret it later?
The reason why I got PCCG to build it for me is because its in another state (Im in Australia and distances between states are quite large) AND the biggest reason is that I havent built a system in quite a while, I havent purchased a LARGE and expensive build as this one before, so I didnt want to take chances with DIY - I still remember putting my finger on a $600 Dual Core when it first came out. It fizzled after a few hours - I was lucky VERY lucky to get a replacement under RMA.
I guess Im jsut worried about messing up so many expensive parts - and having a 3rd party warranty is good for me atm.
