Hello, I'm thinking about building a computer for the first time. I'm not entirely sure what to get though, I could use some help.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing.
I will use it mostly for playing WoW: Wotlk, TF2, and general use.
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
About 700ish, cheaper would be nice.
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
USA
4. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc, etc, etc, you get the picture.
I have been leaning towards a nVidia, but nothing is set in stone.
I've also been looking at an e8400.
5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
I have nothing right now. I need to get an OS and a Monitor. Though the monitor shouldn't be included in the above budget.
6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
I have read through a couple threads the last few days.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
I'll be using the default speeds.
8. WHEN do you plan to build it?
In a few weeks.
Thanks for any help.
