Hey all,
I'm somewhat(very) new to this building of the computer things. But I want to start, and seeing as how I now have the freedom to build my own computer and have been wanting to get a new computer, I see now is a good chance to begin learning.
Anyways, seeing as how I'm new to this, I figured that I should probably ask for help here and there to make sure that I'm going in the right direction, not forgetting anything, and all my parts are compatible and whatnot.
Okay, so.... This is what I have so far:
I'm also questioning the graphics card but will probably leave that to the graphics card subsection.
Anyways, is there any where I can improve without increasing the cost drastically? I tried an i7 920 build but it seemed to come out way more expensive. =\
So yeah, that's about it.
Thanks in advance,
Dakure
