I want to build a computer but am not up to date on PC stuff and have no clue what to buy.
My main intent is to do the following:
surf the internet, download music/movies, watch some movies, burn CDs and DVDs.
I have a good graphics card with an AGP slot, and I also have monitor, keyboard and a mouse. I have a 20 gig hard drive which I never seem to fill up since I transfer all my files to CDs, etc but I'm not sure if this would be compatible with new mobo, etc.
I'd like to spend as little as possible, perhaps $300-$400 range but still have a good computer. I will never do any gaming on this PC. I am somewhat flexible on the price, but given what I use a PC for I'd like to keep it as close to $300 as possible. This would include a new burner for CDs and DVDs as well, as my current set up is on 4x, LOL.
My current PC is old, it is a P3 500mhz piece of junk, so anything has got to be better than this.
Can you guys help me choose components to meet my needs?
