herbjr, you are clearly mistaken. Buying a prebuilt system is more expensive than building your own pc. I have no experience with building a pc either, but I recently just ordered all my parts, so I can build it myself. If you are under a $1000, I would say build your own PC because you will...

i ordered all my parts today. can't wait to get it this week and start on my adventure of building a pc. do the directions get complicated, or should I look for a guide on the internet? If anyone has any good links please feel free to share. thanks again for all your help.

why would it be "unethical" to put a V8 in a Mini Cooper? if you shoehorned a V8 into a Mini Cooper you would have one badass Mini Cooper. I don't see anything "unethical" about it.

thanks for explaining Big B. I haven't ordered anything yet. I will probably wait until the weekend to order.

okie dokie, thanks roy

Roy, I think I will go with your videocard, if and only if you give me a better explanation why, so I at least understand why I am making this choice.

thanks for all the help guys. i think im gonna go with big b's system, with a few minor changes.

thanks for the reply donkey. I think I am going to go with Big B's system, and throw in a floppy drive and network cards. i don't know much about RAID though, so I don't know why it is important. I always thought RAID was for big servers, but I guess I'm wrong. -Rock

Also, need ethernet, and wireless networking card. Any recommendations for those?

i did forget about a floppy drive, but you are right zeus, it is nice to have one just in case. Thanks for all the help so far. -Rock

Thanks addis. Another question: Does the build that Big B suggested come with everything for assembly. Like all the cables and wires, or do I buy those too?

Thank you for your reply Big B. I am more of a software guy, so I don't deal with hardware much. As long as it comes with instructions or I get a guide off the internet then I think I'll be fine. I am up for more suggestions if anyone has any, so I can compare some builds. I just found this...

I apologize ahead of time for the long post. Hi all, I just joined the forums because I am getting a new computer and this looked like a great place to become informed. I have approximately $1500-$1700 to spend on a new desktop. I have looked at Dell's XPS systems, but from what I keep...
