Ars System Guide: We actually built the Performance Gaming Box (December 2014)
The Ars System Guide—our regularly updated series on building the best computers for unique needs and different price points—has been around for more than a decade. And while things have evolved significantly over that time, there's always been a lingering (albeit largely unspoken) criticism. We never actually build the boxes.

However, it has some definite limitations and a few gaps in coverage. And if our System Guide build got much bigger, it might not ever get published. To get into the specifics, there is a decent gap between the Budget Box (our low-end, affordable build) and the Hot Rod (that "just right" bowl of build porridge).
