Guide to buying computer

I remember how confusing it was when I bought my first computer so I have provide a link below for the beginner computer buyer. It describes the various parts of a computer and what you should be looking for.

yea pretty much if you come on CF, you either want to build a computer yourself, or you wanna upgrade your prebuilt or custom computer

I wouldn't recommend it, there's a lot of inaccurate information. The various 101 guides on this site are far more accurate and complete.
