A few days ago I posted a thread on the forums to find the best specs for a new desktop I planned on customizing and ordering online. I was convinced by the users of this forum to build my own! I have decided to take their advice and take on this new challenge. I've watched videos on what parts you need to get and the construction of the computer.
However, I don't exactly know where to start! I'm completely new to building a computer and how do I choose my first parts!? Do I just go to a store and look for a video card, processor, motherboard, etc.? How will I know if I'm getting a good deal for the part?
My price range is about $1000. I plan on using it for gaming (Starcraft 2, Skyrim, etc.) I don't really know what to start with. For example if I was choosing my video card I would be clueless which one was better! I would just look at the price tag and assume the more expensive one is better without knowing why.
I guess I'm asking for anyone to help me choose components. Give me some names of them and hopefully explain why it would be good for my use compared to other parts.
Sorry about the long explanation :/
Just trying to explain everything about the situation.
