Hey guys,
I'm new to all this computer building experience. My last computer that i built (4 or 5 Yrs ago) is still working great. Call me crazy but i have gotten a little bored with my current computer and thinking on selling it to a friend of mine. Before i do this i would like to build a newer computer, more advance computer.
what i am running now is in my signiture. Now being an novice at building, i don't really know where to start. My eye is caught on the new AMD Bulldozer FX-8170 processor, but till out and tested, not sure. Other than that i have no clue what to choose.
How does one pick a motherboard? so many to choose from, what are the differences and benefits of one or the other? As for memory, i have nothing but good luck with Kingston, so i will prob keep with that brand. Processor like i said will yet to be determined until testing and price. Video card i am also lost on. I would love to run 3 monitors and have no problem running games at high resolutions without the problem of burning out or high temperatures. No idea which to choose from.
Like i said, i am a novice and lost at what to choose for parts. A lot of you are thinking, what are you going to do with this computer? I do a lot of things. Yes i game, playing games such as COD and Crysis. I also do a lot of multitasking such as playing music, browse the internet, video edit, and a lot of document processing. Most times, i do many of this all at the same time.
So any opinions you have i am gladly putting my eyes to. Any questions and i'll try and answer them.
