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!

EDIT: Competitor name removed - Alex

Hi hfrecks....  Welcome to the forums.   Alex will probably be by later to delete the Competitors name.  Big%20Smile

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.  Big%20Smile

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. Big%20Smile 


LOL  Right on it, Alex.

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