Hello all. I have been reading various posts regarding building a PC, etc. I have seen MANY different variations and finally decided it was just better to ask. I appreciate GREATLY anyone who has any answers and input.
Background...OK, here we go. I have a custom built PC right now, but it is about 4-5 years old, and i finally came to realizations after i tried to install the Starcraft 2 beta and it said my video card was not up to standards. I am in a little situation now. I use my computer SIMPLY just to browse the internet, look up youtube videos, burn music(ipod) and would LIKE to be able to burn Blu Rays. I also would like to be able to play Starcraft 2. Thats probably the only game i would play, because i use 360 and PS3 for anything else.
What i want...A PC that is VERY fast on the internet, and doesnt take a day to load images. A PC that plays videos in great quality without screwing up half way through. A PC that i can use to burn a blu ray without having an error message or taking 20 minutes to complete. And FINALLY, a PC that i can pop a game, like Starcraft 2, and not have any errors and have it play fast and clear, without stuttering.
My Price...I would REALLY like to keep it under $1000. I have seen MANY PC's on here that have been built VERY nice for under $800. The lower, the better, but i like to keep my PC's for a couple years. I do NOT use it daily, because this one is annoying and i cant even get on sites like google without having a problem.
I thank everyone VERY much in advance, and look forward to hearing what everyone has as far as input wise.
