I have built a few budget AMD builds for family and they love them. Everything works out great for them. But like everyone has stated, each has their ups and downs.
This must have been like 15 or more years ago. As the new AMD processors wont burn up.
This was almost exactly 6 years ago. My daughter was one years old. Her birthday is in December and she will be 7. I still have the dual core socket 932 CPU but the GPU (dont remember which exact model it was) caught on fire. I believe it was a Sapphire brand. I returned it after really great customer service. No hassles or anything. Got the return label, sent it back and they refunded my money within days of me shipping it out.
