GeForce Garage: The Ultimate Resource Center For Designing, Building, and Customizing Your GeForce GTX-Powered PC.

Overview

High-end machines built by specialist PC manufacturers are examples of stunning engineering and expert craftsmanship. However, there is no substitute for the sense of pride and satisfaction that comes from designing and building your very own gaming PC machine from the bottom up, assembled from parts you selected according to your needs and desires.

For those of us with no experience, it seems like a daunting task to build a powerful gaming PC rig. That’s why we created GeForce Garage, a resource center that will guide you through the process, whether you’re a DIY beginner or seasoned vet.
