Ok so i am trying to build my own computer and im not the richest person around so i just wanted to ask for any help at all,if its websites,or hardware for the best prices. Any help would be grealy appreciated thanks!!
 
Newegg.com , buy.com and some others (usa), it would be better if you tell us in what country you live so we can recommend websites around you (if they exist near you).
 
I've moved this thread to Desktop Computers, you should receive more help here.

Can you please tell us:
  • Your Budget
  • What the system will be used for
so that we can provide you with some useful recommendations.

Sorry to disappoint you but you won't be able to build a computer for 200$ that will be able to do all that you want

For $200, you can probably build a computer that'll do word processing, internet, music and movies, but no way is it gonna play any games.
 
Don't know where you're from, but maybe you could try contacting a nearby university and ask about purchasing a used computer. In Madison, the UW replaces hundreds of computers every year, and sometimes I can find one thats less than a year old with some minor problems. They usually go for less than $100. Then it's just a matter of upgrading memory and installing a video card. It won't be the fastest but it will be the cheapest option.
 
$200?? buy a second hand...
the OS already cost nearly $100!!
I will suggest building a decent base unit need at least a budget of $500-600
 
take a look thru Praetors sticky I'm sure you can find something in there, just omit pieces to get the price down
Also in my town we have a volunteer group that builds PC's for schools, You build 5 from their scrap pile, then they give you one
