Hey there guys~! ^.^

I'm going to purchase a new PC. But the problem is that i want to buy parts and don't know what pieces i need to buy :S

All i know is:

- Motherboard
- Power Supply
- RAM
- Fan
- DVD/RW
- Hard Drive Space

Excluding monitor, keyboards etc.

A little help would be much appreciated.

how much money do you want to spend ? also is it gaming computer?

you will have to think of what OS you want to put on it as well, and lso I am suggesting getting a video card, also dont forget to get a case...in which case, some of them come with a PSU so you may not need to buy one seprate.

Also noticed your missing PROCESSOR. lol

Wow, you actually build your computer? I just have two small questions though, well actually three if you count the first thing I just said. First one is; is it cheaper to buy the computer parts in peices? The second question is; can't you just buy a normal untampered with computer o.o?

**Oppai** · 02-16-2008, 06:19 AM

Yes it is much cheaper buying individual parts. Down here in Australia, there's this shop called MSY which sells parts REAL CHEAP!! Kind of like a warehouse type.

Buying a set pc from **** Smith or whatever might be more expensive and not the top notch pc you would want to get.

now if your on your second/third computer and already have a monitor then it is MUCH cheaper to build a computer then to buy one from best buy. ONLY reason itdss cheaper is because at Best Buy or Circuit City or Futureshop, or w/e they generally have pakage prices with a monitor, for example: there is an HP w/ AMD 64 X2 5200+ w/ 3gb of ram, 400gb HDD, onboard GPU and comes with a 20" LCD that is only 799.99 at Best Buy in Canada. Now if you built a 799.99 computer, you would have a bit better computer overall (like an quad core Phenom, and another stick of ram) but that moitor seperately costs about 329.99.

As for top notch stuff, its MUCH CHEAPER to built a PC over buying like an alienwear.
