Memory: Corsair Dominator 6GB DDR3-1600MHz

GPU: Waiting for DirectX 11 GPU's

Builds aint exactly wonderful either...ive had a thread there for 2 days and got exactly one response from some idiot with selective vision.

Biozombie, thats a pretty generic "will kick everythings ass" build. The trick to building really is spending as little as possible while getting the best performance.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Tom's... I don't believe the present situation has anything to do with a lot of the old timers having gone elsewhere after feeling patronised with crappy badges and a messed up points system.

Best way to get people to get involved.

1. Give a budget - any tosser can build a nice box with a collection of expensive bits
2. Give a country and maybe a supplier you intend to use
3. Give some options (Nvida / ATi) normally pulls in the fanboys.
4. Expected use - I mentioned that I might HTPC my present build and that lead to getting a board with HDMI output, the details matter.

Absolutely agree on that one. The Tom's build guides ain't bad in this regard and serve as quite a good starting point.

Moved it over to Overclockers.co.uk

On a side note, damn shame bout the others. I was one that enjoyed reading but was too damn scared to post up for fear of getting fisted.

Telling that the leaving party isn't even happening. I think people have just had enough and moved on.
