"I have an old school view of a computer enthusiast. It has nothing to do with buying the most expensive or latest model components available as sites of today would have you believe. Rather, doing a ton of research and getting the best possible performance per dollar spent. Many companies make hidden gems of products that can be pushed and match their top of the line products. Heck, most companies product lines contain the exact same technology they just turn off a couple of features in order to lower the price tag. There have been many proven CPUs and GPUs that can be overclocked or unlocked with a little tweaking and match, or come close to their higher counterparts, ultimately saving the user a boatload of cash."
