I dont have allot of sense in me i dont think i can build one. I dont even know all the parts i would need.
  • Case
  • Power supply
  • Motherboard
  • Memory
  • CPU
  • Graphics
  • DVD Drive
  • HDD
  • Monitor*
  • Keyboard*
  • Mouse*


*If you don't have one already.

Well, i have a qeustion are these easy to put together? How long should it take if i have all the parts?

For me, It took a couple hours but I breaked and was watching TV. Maybe for you, it would take a few days, maybe 1 day if you're lucky.

Cool, cause when i get the parts i am going to want to play.

So any good parts?

What's your general budget?

All together i would say 1200

You guys are really pushing him into this. There's a lot of research to be done before he can start choosing parts. Also Gen. Nick, you forgot operating system in your list.

Before you absolutely make plans to build a computer, though. You should:

  • Ask parents if you can build one.
  • Get help from them/have them watch you
  • Consider the more difficult parts of building it, like installing the CPU fan, and putting all the plugs from the case on the right parts of the motherboard.
  • Touch bare metal every once in a while to ground yourself, to prevent damaging a specific part.

You'll generally need a lot of patience, and having parents watching you would help a lot.

I think buying a pre-built is better. I can't see you needing all of that power.

What you can do is buy a pre-built computer, and install a video card so you can play most games decently. (Mostly depending on what card you buy)

It'll be cheaper to do it this way too. If you can find one with a decent processor in it, the most you'll need to do is add RAM and a video card.

Well, then do you have one that would be good for me?


Bump!
Why are you getting it off ebay? Shipping a computer doesn't sound like a great idea.


Look at a few computer stores in your area and find one that has a dual core processor.

Don't buy it if it only has one core.

If you're not sure about one, you can just post links to what you find/anything you saw in the store. There are a few important specifics.
