Ok, let me start this off by saying while I've years of experience with computers, I've never actually learned much about the components of them. Sucks on my part.
Now, I graduate in a month, and I was discussing receiving money so I could buy parts for a homemade computer verses buying one way overprice. I'll need one for both gaming and image editing programs because I'll be going to college for graphic design.
What I'd like is for it to be able to run games such as World of Warcraft, League of Legends, and maybe even something as intense as Aion at a decent setting. I've always had to play games on the lowest settings possible, so it doesn't really bother me all that much. I've been using an HP Presario CQ62 Laptop and a cheap eMachine desktop(also integrated graphics card) for the longest, so do your worst.
My budget will probably be around $400 if I subtract the money for purchasing an OS.
I've read through the forums and I've seen so many different builds and I'm just at a loss, I think I'd like one that I could possibly upgrade in the future, if possible.
I have:
17" Monitor
Keyboard/Mouse
Please help, and let me know if you need any other information.
