I'm planning on making a new Gaming computer. Its going to be the first computer I'll make since 1994. Needless to say things are alot different now. I did my online research as well as asking around at my local BestBuy and Circuit City. Please give me suggestions on what I should get.
What I want:
Gaming PC
Roughly around $1000 buget
Main reason is I dont want to invest in the best parts because this is going to be my first pc.
Newegg.com is my source for parts. Surprising living in NYC theres a lack of stores that sells motherboards and other components.
I'm building it ASAP my school starts in a week and I need to get it done before then.
From what I gathered from asking around and online research I should get:
Motherboard 2-3 PCI Express with 4 slots for RAM.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...?Item=N82E16813130158R is what I have my eyes on, and thats also because it comes with the SB X-Fi Extreme (something I was planning to get otherwise).
Dule Core. Other that that I have no idea what to get.
NIVIDA 8800
Hard drive I have no idea, i guess the bigger the better?
Vista? Whats the difference between the versions?
Things I already have avaliable:
Floppy (do I even need this?)
52x CD Rom
12V Power Supply
Tower (I took apart a old custom-build from 2001)
Please let me know what you think and if I should change anything but please tell me the reason why, I want to learn about parts and stuff. Thanks guys for taking the time to read all that. =)
