I agree. Custom built PCs are superior to prebuilt ones. I have never owned a prebuilt PC in my life. Everyone else's prebuilt PCs seem to be really slow & unstable. Mind you, they probably didn't know how to mantain their PCs properly.

I was thinking of building one, I gotta find a really good guide...Kinda scared I might fuck up.

Shall I write you a tutorial?:001_smile:
I have built/repaired loads of PCs before.

Anyway, if you want any help with building a PC, PM me, or make a post in this thread.

Yeah!

Thanks :D

Can you link me a good site for buying hardware..I have sites like geek.com and tigerdirect.com.


And also, don't take this the wrong way but, I love you <3 xD.

Sorry mate, I live in the UK, so all my shops will be different to US ones. Ask a PC builder that lives in the US.

Here is what you will need;

Case,
PSU,
Motherboard,
CPU,
RAM,
Optical drive,
HDD,
Mouse,
Keyboard,
Monitor,
Graphic card,
Sound card.

Graphics & sound can be done by using the motherboard's intergrated graphics & sound. But it will slow down your PC.

K, thanks ^_^.

You got any recommendations? (like brand, or exact types.)

P.S Thanks for all of your help ^_^.

BRAND
ASRock motherboards... they are solid.
Maxtor or Western Digital HDD.. very reliable.
Creative soundcards.... they are quality.
CPU... buy the cheapest one. AMD & Intel are both reliable.
Corsair RAM. They cost though....
Nvidia or ATI graphic card. These two make good graphic cards.

TYPE
RAM - Buy DDR2....DDR3 is still too expensive
AMD CPU - AM2+
Intel CPU - LGA775
Graphic card - PCI Express
HDD & Optical drives - SATA 2
Sound cards will nearly always use the PCI slot
