Building a computer

[Grodus]

Hey guys, I'm building a new computer because this one sucks when it comes to gaming.


Current computer -
 Laptop, Windows Vista, 211 GB harddrive capacity, Compaq laptop case, 32-bit, 1.5 GB RAM, Dual core -Video card- (I don't know which one to get yet)

Custom built computer (what I'm aiming to make) -
Desktop, Windows 7 enterprise, 1 TB harddrive capacity, HP pavilion 752n/700 computer case, 64-bit, 8 GB RAM, Quad core -Video card- (I don't know which one to get yet)


The reason why I put this in community projects is because I'd like recommendations, it's a project, and I'm going to keep you guys posted. So in a way, it is a community project.

I installed the optical drives, and the power supply. I would do more, but it's time to save up for the other parts.

i love how you know absolutely nothing but you're biased as forget

what are you looking to do with the computer? gaming?
do you have a price range? what PSU did you get?

[Blocki]

You're right, I don't know anything about AMD stuff

[Grodus]

AMD is SLIIIIIGHTLY worse then Intel... But intel is around four times as expensive on most retail websites.


Gaming, Windows Movie Maker creation, and what is a PSU... I love you now, because you told me about a PSU. if not for you I'd have it all set up and it wouldn't run because I lacked the PSU.

Unless PSU means Power Supply.

I'm still looking at Power Supplies, My land lady gave me her old computer case for helping her smash a statue in her backyard, and then it further turned out that it was a fully pre-built HP pavilion 700/752n and  the power supply in it broke down. Apperentally, she didnt have time to fix it so she just bought a new one.

So I have a CD-rom optical drive,a DVD burner/wrighter optical drive, and a case. Got any recommendations for me?
Also, i'm actually going to get a lot of this stuff from eBay. cheapest prices in the world yo.
