Budget, baseline, and performance PC builds!

From: http://www.maximumpc.com/build_pc_recommended_builds_february_2014

  Budget is an entry-level rig with pep, Baseline gets you a powerful system for gaming and content creation at 1080p, 
  and Performance beefs everything up across the board. These rigs are lab-tested and editor-approved. As an added 
  bonus, we've also collected several of our Upgrades of the Month from past issues, for your shopping perusal.
