Yeah I really need a new one... and I need some ideas of where you guys would go. I will have about 1000 USD to spend :). If you want... also post what you would recommend with this budget :P.

arhh u talking about the best table to build it on or the best place 2 buy ure components?. Look above at the stickies on places to buy components. Are you gonna spend only 1000 USD or that much for now with possible expansion in the future?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You gonna build the whole computer from scratch do u have prior experience? or are u wanting to buy 1 pre- built?

build from scratch w/ little experience lol.

Are you able to re-use your current case? What about your monitor, key board and mouse, are you re-using them?

This is a good starting Board

 

 

 

From here you can control your spending,

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Heres a Case I got

I assume from your location that you are from the USA, so I would suggest using the site http://www.newegg.com , from what I been told they offer good service, and the appear to have a large range and at reasonable prices.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With regards to suggested parts just ask here with your requirments, what you plan to do, ect... Many of the users here can quickly come up with a 'model' set-up for any price ranges. Althoughing comparing brands of the same product is a massive time waster.

Lol Militaris you speak to me like you don't know me... but thanks you gusy... I'll start there :)

I barely know myself lately.... my fragile mind can not tolerate getting up at 6:30am each morning then working a 8+ hour day under the hot sun....

 

 

 

(Plus I like being generic)

Do tons of research first. know what you're making this for. by a computing magazine. look at articles in the magazine and on-line about building a comp. As i said do research i recomend the amd 64 if you want to amp your budget some as the windows vista (longhorn) is about to be released. And is the next generation and its 64-bit OS meaning the amd 64 is currently one of the only ones that can run the operating system. There's also lots of compatbility issues with memory, and chipsets, and graphics cards. as some dont work with others. Also if you can i rcomend serial ata instead of SCSI standard ide cables.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And no matter how much you read and prepare problems will arise as its the first time. Like i had trouble getting the hard drives in and configuring the bios. After you've done it it will become easier in the future
