Pricing is about the same; however, the Digital Storm build has a few drawbacks. Most notably, it's 8GB RAM as opposed to 16. Also, it's a 120GB SSD in lieu of the 250, and a 600W PS instead of the 750.
The big positive I see, in this instance, is that it comes with a 4-year warranty. That's a huge plus in my eyes. However it is, for all intents and purposes, a less powerful machine. What do you all think? |
The PSU difference is pretty meaningless, 750 vs 600 doesn't matter unless you're running twin SLI graphic cards. Most people don't need 750watts, and even 600watts is overkill. If you look at the build i just did (a few posts back), i used a 600watt PSU, but the build only required less than 400W.
As far as the SSD is concerned, i would take a look at the failure rates (if you can find that info), rather than just the size. Read the reviews on them and see if you can find any data regarding the failure rate. Size isn't everything, especially if the only thing you're putting on it is the O/S and a few programs and then putting everything else into a HDD.
