I like the second one.

However, when I did mine, I bought the parts and got a pro' to put it together.

Btw, thanks for not calling me a douchbag...appreciated.

 

I use newegg.

Scary part is only the computer knows:willy_nilly:

 

I use Newegg myself. Are you looking for a tutorial as to how to go about this?

 

yeah pretty much....

 

Ok, here goes:

Start at Newegg: newegg.com/
Decide first a ballpark how much you want to spend.
Go to the hardware tab and start with the cpu/processors and go to desktop processors. Decide if you want Intel or AMD. AMD is the gamer's choice, Intel is the business choice, but it really doesn't matter all that much unless you are building a high end system. Then decide if you want a dual or a quad core. Dual is fine for running all but the highest end monitors and maxed out graphics games.
Example: l am going to go with a AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz. It has great reviews and is apparently a nice stable processor, with great bang for the buck. Now go to the specifications tab of the processor's page and see what CPU socket type it takes. This Phenom takes an AM3 socket.

Next you go back to the hardware menu and look at AMD compatible motherboards with an AM3 socket that will work with this processor.
Example: I am going to go with an ASUS M4A78T-E AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX. Again, great reviews, and alot of power and features.

After this you pick out Memory, a Hard Drive, a video card or two if you did not pick a board with onboard video (not reccommended), a sound card if you did not pick a motherboard that has onboard sound, and a case.

When picking a case, look to see how many fans the case has and if it comes with fans. I would reccomend buying fans regardless of it comming with them or not. Find some case fans that have a low sone/db rating. The lower the rating, the quieter the tower will be.

After you have got all that picked out, go to the Power Supply Calculator. If you are just playing around with configureations, use the free one, but if you are sure and are ready to buy, pay the $2 for the pro access. Work your way though the boxes and enter in everything you have picked out. Once it gives you the power quotas, go back to Newegg and look at Power Supplies. Go with someone trusted like Antec. Buy at least 10 Watts over what the Power Supply Calc tells you.

You just keep going by referencing back to the motherboard specs page to find what will work with the board. Remember the board is the center of it all, not the processor. Everything has to jive with the board.

Go with trusted companies, and don't cut corners by getting cheap company stuff, as you will regret it later. It is better to take less power by a trusted company than high power by a crappy one.

Always read reviews. Don't go with stuff where a lot of people are whining about many little gripes. 4 or 5 star stuff only.

While you are at it, get a nice mouse and a nice keyboard.

If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I will help you out.

Computer are easy to build the tricky part is knowing what all the figures actually mean and how they affect a computer. If ya want stable hardware check out what the over clocking forums or web site.

 

Trust me it's easier than you'd think, just read a little into it mate
