Section 2 - Choose Your Path
The first step in really building your computer is which path do you want to take, Intel or AMD. The general consensus is that AMD is made for gaming, while Intel is made for multitasking and processor intensive work. To see what the real differences in the chips are the best thing to do would be to read the CPU 101 created by Praetor. It outlines the types of chips on the market and gives info on what to expect and what not to expect from each chip after you purchase it and stick it in a system. Now as this thread is only a guide on how to put your machine together you'll have to decide what parts to buy on your own, or search on the forum or computer review sites for the parts that best suit your needs.
