I think TWHL is great to have a group of mature honest people who actually want to spend the time to improve something as pointless as a rating system. This action in itself makes TWHL's rating system less pointless and more useful than those of most websites

I suppose it might be possible that one has bitten through a wireI find that improbable.
Once ants destroyed my GPU by crawling on the other side of the processor where the sticker is and shorted it outI find that amusing. I just imagined an ant experiencing an electric shock.

He needs because he can always upgrade his PC with out the need of a newer MoBo. Especially when prices drop for good GPUs in the future.It's not cost-effective, nor efficient to upgrade to two video cards in the future. There are powerful enough single-card GPUs(and there are dual-GPU cards btw, although expensive).
You want what proved? That higher memory speed means better performance?You said that "Even 100 MHz is a whole different level of performance". That's what I want proved. Of course higher frequency means more performance, but 100mhz is NOT a big difference.
Mother boards unter 150$ wil RARELY have 2x 16xPCI-E, and or other functions, such as memory speed and ammount supportWhy did you assume Skals needs 2 PCI-e ports? I have a Gigabyte S3 motherboard since 2007, it was kind of mid-level. In 2010 I upgraded the CPU, updated the BIOS and it worked. No "solid-state" capacitors. None of them exploded/leaked. I assume most of the newer motherboards have better quality capacitors anyway. I'm saying that it's not a good idea to just throw money on a high-end motherboard.
Even 100 MHz is a whole different level of performance.I want that proved.
HDD, as striker says, but why waste 100e more on an SSD when you can get a VelociRaptor from WD which has similar transfer speed and more space than an SSD for that price.I can't fully understand your logic. So you're assuming that investing in a more expensive motherboard is good, but investing in an SSD is bad?
As for CPU, id personally go for a non GPU one, socket 2011 is the one with out.I agree with this.
Its pure Intel power.
Planet-sized computers are being constructed throughout the Local Group of galaxies, with every available resource going towards their production. All of the "dead" worlds, comets, moons and asteroids considered uninhabitable are being converted into these machines, forming a vast network millions of light years across space. Each computer is capable of instant communications with any other, regardless of distance.I extracted this paragraph from this site. By the way, that's an interesting read.
It was just short of £7.99Where did you get that offer? Tell me!
- Sim City for Facebook (sigh) and a real version for the PCOh no... the power of addiction! (we'll see, if it's actually a crap "blabla-farm" type of game, then I won't play it)
- Need For Speed: Most Wanted. Looked pretty cool.This is some kind of a "reloaded" version, right?
It's a shame, really. I'm probably the only 12-year-old in existence to be a fan of Wolfenstein 3D, Half-Life, and the only to refuse to touch a copy of Call of Duty.At your age I was enjoying games like Transport Tycoon as well as playing Crysis. I heard a lot of people who continuously talk about gameplay, giving(apparently) zero importance to graphics. And me, as a person who likes diversity, when bringing the point of high quality graphics, I'm probably regarded as that stereotypical guy that plays only FPS games... this is just prejudice.
