Hey guys, this is my first time looking at parts and really looking at computers at all. I have been looking around for about a month now, and I put together a list of parts for my desktop. My list might totally suck for all I know, and thats why I need some help and maybe some suggestions.
Im goin to college next year and getting a new computer for the occasion. I will use it for a few games (Battlefield, Halo, some older games maybe), downloading music, and mostly surfing the web. My budget is about $1000-$1100, but cheaper is always better if it can be had.
Heres my list.....
