Best Performance Desktop PCs

Thursday June 11, 2009

With the slow economy, there hasn't been a whole lot of change in the performance desktop computer market. Sure, Intel just announced a few new Intel Core i7 processor models and both NVIDIA and ATI have made some small performance tweaks, but for the most part there hasn't been a large amount of change in the available systems. The biggest advantage has been the downward trend in prices.

The majority of people looking for a high performance desktop computer are typically using it for PC gaming. There are people looking to use them for tasks like desktop video and the such, but most manufacturers still market them as game machines. With the current economy though, people are not as eager to spend $5000 for such a system as they did in the past. As a result, I've changed the focus of my best performance desktop list to focus more on performance at a value price and breaking out the list based on various features and functions as well as price.
