[Editor's note: WastelandTraveler wrote up a great guide at building yourself a awesome PC on the cheap. -- CTZ]

[Note: I did not include mouse/keyboard or monitor. I'm taking into consideration that most people on here already have such things, so you can use them for the new rig. Main reason for the monitor is because with most HDTV's today, they have a PC port on the back. Not to mention the video card in this build has a native HDMI port ... you see where I am going with this?]

Well now, the holidays are right around the corner, or lets say you want to spend a little something and not get sh*t for anyone else. What's a better way than to complete your realm of gaming then getting a new PC on top of the other platforms you own! "BUT ITS SO EXPENSIVE AND NOT WORTH ITS BAWBAWBAWBBAW". Hold on there Timmy, I have a solution for you. I bring you ... NEWEGG! A Web site which has always been known for some of the lowest prices on hardware components and all that jazz.

What I am bringing to this blog is a possibly holiday gift for you, or for someone in your family while taking into consideration a tight budget. I have put together a list of parts that will bring you a brand new PC that will be capable of running any game out today on the PC with great performance! And guess how much it is? $597.91. That's right, a gaming PC that can run Crysis cranked, and every other title out on the PC right now fully cranked. Where is your God now?! 

[Editor's note: Have you heard yet? Friday Night Fights is evolving. We're going to have some new tournaments kicking off soon and the first game is going to be Quake Live (which is free to play!). dyslixec, in his infinite wisdom, has given us a guide that should really help you out! Follow "DtoidNiero" on Twitter to find out more about the new FNF. --CTZ]

In order to prepare all of you for your sacrifice and slaughter, I will link you to some very basic guides and give you some simple advice. Quake is not a world of sprinting, pulling up your iron sights, throwing frag grenades, getting strange perks that allow hand grenades to fall out of your ass when you die, or giving you the ability to call in a f*cking helicopter.

No. Quake is Death Match (DM) in its purest form. This is a game of speed, reaction, coordination and strategy. There are some very basic rules to follow with this game.

[dyslixec gives us a deep hard look at why you should be playing EVE Online. -- CTZ]

EVE is the darkest, most unforgiving universe you will ever walk through. This isn't some world of alliance/horde characters running around in wheat fields waiting for you to get half health and then ganking you, or playing school yard capture the flag in an arena the size of my bathtub. This isn't a world of open pvpers killing you and getting NO reward other than just killing you. This isn't a world where you have your hand held, guided on a wire, or spoon fed all of your equipment and skill. This is EVE, a universe of cold, hard working, and merciless players. This is our world outside of the real, we are a mimic of the War Profiteers and Black Market monsters that effect everyone in real life today. We profit off of your misery, we make advancements by stealing yours, and we take your merciful attitudes, chew it up, and spit it out. But here is the best part: you will most likely mistake us for someone who cares.

We create the world, we make the history, we alter the course of the story. The players of EVE are all responsible for evolving this game. Think of its creative structure being completely driven by the players and implemented by the developers. Story, new ideas, support, all of this is in our power, and we can all bring these into the world. What do we get in return? A world created by us, and the finance to support our lives within this world we have created. There is no limit.

This is NOT a simpletons game. This is a complex, unforgiving, but vastly rewarding game if you have the patience to stick it through. If you understand how tabletop miniatures games work like Warhammer 40k, Battletech, and D&D, you will understand what I mean by complex. There are attributes for EVERYTHING in this game, and EVERYTHING in this game has a use, whether it is to make money, build ships, build weapons, or ammunition for those weapons -- everything has a purpose.
