sure, I googled it. You must realize that GOOGLE cannot always be trusted. Which is why after googling I then come here and other forums to ask real people who actually have done it, their opinion. What is sad, is that so many people google something and believe the first thing they read. Then they vehemently insist they are right because "they read it on google". and then they tell other people to go google instead of helping them.

Smart people google AND ask real people for advice.

More like most people have common sense about these things, and dont just pick any random source to base their research off. Oh and if you know any degree about critical thinking, then you would know not to take everything as royalty, and attempt to figure things out yourself.

When spending over $2000, I prefer not to leave it up to trial and error. Thanks anyways.

My first system I built was that much and I was 14. All my money that I spent on it from saving over 2 years. Spent a month watching videos on youtube, and reading books on this stuff, and various other research. Didn't join a forum, till after I built the system.

yeah, id like to see that. $200 for the system I built. Maybe $200 if I were to build it again now.

Wait so you make a cocky post about how I need to read when you cannot and I am arguing and you are the poor misunderstood guy
