Slingshot377 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Hi. My dad said i might be able to build my own computer for xmas (my gift will be supplies). I was wondering if anyone knew what materials i would need and what the best components like hard drive, sound/video cards etc would be(best meaning balance between cost and effectivness). I need a full list with prices i have a budget of about 1200 bucks. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart_G Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 What will be the primary uses for this computer? Any heavy gaming? Do you have any parts which you could re-use from your current set up such as monitors, keyboard, mouse, speakers? Also, are you living in America? If so, i can spec you a system with most parts from Newegg which are known for great service and prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suox Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 If you dont know what you need to make a computer. I dont think you should try to make one Edit: Also people who decide to flame me.

blade995 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 I don't suggest finding parts now if it's for a christmas gift. By christmas there's going to be a whole new generation of parts out that are going to be faster than whats out now. I'm mainly talking about new graphics cards with directX10, Windows Vista, and quad core processors from Intel (might get delayed). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimihendrix5 Posted August 22, 2006 Share Posted August 22, 2006 Alright, well I have about 5 years of building custom computers, repairing, upgrading etc. [email protected] . I would be willing to make you a new egg shopping cart that would equal $1200. Monitor also? just e-mail me and I will be willing to help you. Thanks IN GAME NAME: Jimihendrix3 !!!!! not 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What he said, come back a bit closer to christmas and ask us again, cause i can guarantee that there will be something better out and prices will have changed.

username388 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Yeah, I'd say come back closer to Christmas. Just to let you know though, Intel says they will have Kentfield processors in the 1st or 2nd quarter of 2007, which definitely means not at Christmas.
