Benchmark Results: Productivity
A 17% performance boost in 3ds Max 2009 slightly exceeds the CPU overclock, so again we look at tighter memory timings in the overclocked PC as a possible reason for this exception.
AVG performance is bound by multiple factors, proving that overclocking isn’t the solution to every performance need.
Overclocking improves WinRAR and WinZip performance by 11% and 15%, respectively.

Are Europeans also able to join the contest?
Nice build but a shame that the I7 was not further overclocked.
Wouldn't a scythe orochi have matched into the system?
@Erdinger - No.
I'm on the .co.uk site and it's all US dollar and parts you can't get in the UK! Sad thing is . If you swap the $ for £ the price is about the same.
Perfect timing! I was just about to buy a gaming PC but all your articles on gaming budget PC's were outdated. Do you have any plans on what day the "Day 3: The $600 Gaming PC" will be published?
ehm everyday one article .... today came number two so tomorow number 3 ^^
it's BS to put 24/7 HDs in a normal system. They aren't designed for a normal computer that get's turned on and off once a day and will die faster
