I wanna build my own computer!
Never done it before, and the more I think about it, the more I want to do it.
I've been reading and looking and shopping around and all the rest of it, and I want to see if I've got this right or not.
I'd use it mostly for high-end games (think Sims 2 with every expansion/Sims 3, Crysis etc), downloading/streaming movies/music, backing up/copying DVDs/games, using finance programs like MYOB, and things like Photoshop. Along with the basic internet use, lower resource games, yada yada etc etc.
This is what I have so far:
CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400
Case: Some cheap ATX or micro ATX case
Video Card: ASUS NVidia GTX 260 896MB or ASUS NVidia 9500GT 1GB
HDD: A Samsung 1tb SATA
A 650W power supply
4GB DDR2 RAM
DVD Drive: A Samsung SATA 22x
A sound card
I'm not very good at this stuff, and I have no idea what motherboard specs mean.
I need some help =]
