I would definitely consider myself one of those people who likes to shop around and does not jump at the first deal that comes at them. I like to do my research and find the product that is going to fit my needs best and not cost me extra money. This style of living is not making me richer by any means, because sometimes I end up purchasing a more expensive item, even though other times I may end up purchasing something really cheap because it works just as well. It all seems to balance out in the end and I end up spending an average amount on items overall.

The one thing that I don't like to skimp on is my electronics. Though there are exceptions to every rule and sometimes you can find low cost electronics or components that are awesome. I have not come across too many components that would fall into this category, but recently we took a look at the AMD A10-7850K APU and I have so say I was thoroughly impressed with is ability to kick some butt, especially considering its low price tag. An APU of course won't work on its own and the MSI A88X-G45 Gaming board seemed like the perfect companion and was also low priced to fit the need.
