Topic: digital storm Virtue Posted: 05 Jun 2014 at 9:11am |
Hey I'm new to the forums. I was going to post a 'hello' type post but I didn't see a section for that, that's ok though. Anyway, I have been comparing gaming PCs to buy for the past couple days and I thought it was cool that digital storm had their own forums. So I decided to post here. Anyway, I was comparing the ----- with the digital storm virtue. I have played PC games for a long time but I haven't kept up to date with hardware recently. What I want is:
-performance (of course) -upgradeability -good price Now the ----- seems to have a couple of advantages that I like over the Virtue, so I was wondering if someone could tell me why the virtue is a higher price. What I'm looking at: ------ has a PSU with higher wattage and is AX vs the virtue's CX ------ is lower price -Virtue has slightly better water cooler (though is it needed?) -both have 4770k and 780ti -Virtue has slightly bigger ssd So with what I'm looking at, wouldn;t the ----- be a better deal? I just feel like I should get others' opinions before making a judgment myself. Maybe there is something I'm missing. Thanks!

Hi hfrecks.... Welcome to the forums. Alex will probably be by later to delete the Competitors name.
Just visited that site with your link for the first time and I don't see any mention of specifically what is the motherboard, who makes it and what warranty does it carry. Same for the HDD and SSD drives. Is it a propriety motherboard, made just for them or a quality Asus, etc? If you browse the DS configurator, DS leaves no doubt the exact part you'll be getting and the manufacturer's warrant afterwards. A lot of motherboards, video cards etc carry a 3 year warranty from defect. What about customer/service support after your purchase? If we that have bought a DS system have any issues, DS is there. That's worth a few bucks right there. You have me curious. I'm gonna Google their name and see what comes up. Hope this helps. |

I just Googled their name and nothing comes up, at least not in a language I know. I don't knock or criticize other makers, but I would get more info on them, like reviews, before I gave them my money.
Good Luck. Right on it, Alex. Edited by bprat22 - 05 Jun 2014 at 10:00am |

Thanks for the quick replies, guys. Also, sorry about including competitor name, I can understand how that can cause problems.
