PC Perspective has posted a major update to their hardware leaderboard today that reconfigures all four system build categories from Dream to Budget.



The High End system also saw a price increase going from $1245 to $1399 - a modest increase I think considering the changes I implemented. First we moved to a new Yorkfield, 45nm Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 processor but kept the 780i SLI chipset motherboard. I also upgraded graphics card in this system as well with the new 9800 GTX card - a great single-GPU board that offers 8800 Ultra-like performance at a lower price.
