building

[mooney456]

I would like to build a pc, prolly using components from tigerdirect.com or if there are any others that you have heard of. But my question what should i start with, a barebones kit, and if so what components are gonna be compatible, and what do any of you suggest for most for the money? I would like to use the computer as a gamer, and also have STRONG multimedia capabilities. Also, i am still a full time student so i would like to keep the cost down

Any help would be great

Thanks

What exactly is your price range?

 

[GameGURU]

do not go barebone. www.newegg.com has great deals once you find the price range as beed said.

well my max for right now is prolly about $1000, but i would like to spend less if possible

wit 100 ur gonna have to sacrifice a little bit, some ram, lower video card, but it should work out ok in the end

dude check out IBUYPOWER.com they have some great deals man...

if you want the biggest bang for the buck go with AMD, I would go with the AMD XP2800, Asus K8V, 1 Gig Dual ram (corsair, mushkin, OCZ), Radeon 9600XT, Western Digital 120 GB SATA, a crt monitor, something to that extent

i forgot to mention that i dont need a monitor, just the box,
any other stores out there on the web, besides, tiger direct, ibuypower, etc....

thanks
