Hello guys, I am completely new to building computers and all this hardware stuff. Just got into it last week and now I have constant headaches since there's just so much to get my head around. This all started because I was going to buy and Alienware but was persuaded to build a better computer for cheaper ¬_¬

 

Hopefully we can get along well and you guys can teach me many things!

Lolnope.

 

I like my Mac and all, but I am not going to pretend it's something that it's not.

 

It blows for gaming, sucks for productivity and it was so overpriced that one could laugh about it.

Yeah, I have a few friends who scolded me right away when I brought up wanting to buy that. To talk about what I got in a build I am thinking about now, where do I go?

Just make another tread in the new builds section subforum and tell us : Your location, your budget, the useage for the PC, what  you need included in the budget other than the PC on it's own (Mice, Keyboard, OS, headphones etc.)
