alright i will do a little more research and see if that can fit into my budget. After speaking with the relative who i was pretty sure could help me, i found out that he only worked on the massive computers back in the day, ones that cost 5 million to build (worked for ibm) so i dont think...

the 690 it is

oh thanks alot, lots of good choices ill have to decide on one soon

any suggestions then? being that this is my first build my cable management might not be the greatest

maybe go with this for memory, same price just more of it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145184

o i only picked it because it is relatively cheap and seems to be good, i am on a pretty tight budget for the quality of a machine i want, so every dollar counts.

I dont plan on starting until the summer mayb end of june because I wanna save up a little more. I can always wait if it will be beneficial, anyone know when the new cards come out?

i prefer nividia, however this is only based on reviews and such from other people. Prior to this i had a 64 mb intel graphic controller, and now i have an ati mobility x1400, so anything's an upgrade. However, through research it seems like nvidia puts out the better cards which is why i went...

well right now i have about $1400 (im still in high school, but i work) so i would not like to spend it all but i also like intel, i have never used amd before. Aside from those few minor changes i would just like to also know if the psu is a good choice because it is that whole subject that...

alright thanks alot so do you think this system would work at all? i also read that the motherboard i chose isn't sli capable should i opt to dish out a little more in order to get one for the future?...reason im asking is because i dont know how easy it is to replace the whole motherboard...

as of now no because i dont know much about tweaking or putting together computers. However between several online guides and the help of some people i know i should be able to put one together. Maybe later on i will overclock as i become more knowledgeable about the subject.

Well i would just like to start off by saying that i am completely braindead when it comes to putting a computer together from scratch. I intended on trying to put together a computer for $1200 with a monitor and such. The computer would be used for games, internet surfing, and later on if...
