Alright guys I have recenlty been on here alot trying to figure out what I want to do about building a new computer. I have a budget of about 1100 dollars and want to build the best computer I can with it I have used cyberpowerpc.com and also ibuypowerpc.com but I am thinking maybe I want to just build one myself from the ground up. I don't play any very high graphic games so far the game that would probably stress the system most would be battlefield 2. other than that i play a litte counterstrike, empire earth, and age of empires. so if you had the choice what components would you chose for the build any advice is greatly appreciated. i have no idea what mobo i want etc etc. please help. also many of you may wonder since i don't know what i am doing in terms of what to buy for a computer how would i put one together well i have someone close to where i live who can do this for me or my cousin would be able to do it for me. i have also thought about just reading the diy tutorials on here and trying it out myself. thanks.
