Hardware 2.0 'Very Best Kit List' for February 2012

By Adrian Kingsley-Hughes | February 13, 2012, 6:07am PST

Welcome to the Hardware 2.0 “Very Best Kit List” for February 2012!

Here I’ve put together a list of the best high-end and mid-range and budget components currently available. So if you’re thinking of building or even upgrading a PC, this list is a must-read for you!

I update this list monthly (if I forget, someone poke me with a stick!), these components are on this list because I firmly believe them to be the best either in terms of performance or price - although I’m ready to admit, as always, that there’s room for debate and some choices “go with the gut” more than others.

NOTE: All prices are approximate … shop around for the best deals! There’ also seems to have been quite a bump in prices of some components over the past few weeks. Unfortunately it’s not a cheap time to buy parts.

Also, because these are the components I feel are the best available, don’t expect the entire list to change every month! This is honest, real-world stuff, and isn’t based on what’s new or what was in the latest press release!
