DIY 4GHz Dual Core rig for $720

It is important to find a processor device with cores designed for a much faster clock than their nominal rating at a speed of up to 4 GHz without problems. With such a CPU and given the right combination of additional parts, you can truly build a high-end PC. And But won’t such a project cost an arm and a leg? Think again: Using our select list of components, costs start at about $720 – including a quiet water cooling rig.

It’s hard to believe that you can build any dual core system for $720, but Toms has done it. They have even gone as far as including a quiet water cooling. Of course, there’s no doubt you will be skimping out on a few parts, so they give an alternate route that will bring you up to a still modest $1,200.
