18-01-2012 7:07amCustom PC has been a great help over the years when building PCs, I definitely reccomend the magazine. The following will help you pick parts for building or upgrading your current PC. I will update this as long as I get the magazine or somebody contacts me with the updates as sometimes I do not have access to buy it - its only available here in the city.
If you have a newer Issue, please PM me the updates and ill update OP.
