Currently im running eve on a HP laptop which is burning at 60c! Shocked.

Its been a long time since i've built a pc so im looking for suggestions. Want to run eve on full settings but im on a very tight budget.

Id much rather build a pc. Got it in my head that it'll be far cheaper than buying one. Checked alienware but for the money you pay the specs aint that great in my opinion.

the pcper leaderboard. I would go for the low end one and maybe swap out the 1T disk hd for a 120gb ssd.

Just saying that 60C is a normal temp for a laptop, the parts are designed to run hotter than a desktop machine.
