Posted June 15, 2014 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.

Posted June 15, 2014 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
