Hello,
I want to build a computer. I had a Dell that lasted me about 3 years for which I paid around 1200$ but during those years I had to take to the repair shop due to various problems. I decided that I won't be getting another Dell ever again. I want to build my own computer.
Let me start by saying I don't know much about computers and will have a lot of reading to do. Also, I will need your help. I will start with the stickies here and then proceed to what else you guy will recommend.
I want to keep this thread as my building log instead of creating a bunch of threads with noob questions.
My planned budget is 1200-1500max with a monitor. It might change as I proceed.I see this as learning process as well so I see it taking sometime, a month. More?
So far I have read this thread http://www.techist.com/forums/f76/any-step-step-tutorials-out-there-188414/
and followed the links. It seems that most of the buying will be done on newegg or ZimZoomfly? Also, I have to start by picking a CPU?
I am looking at newegg right now. It seems that I have a choice betweem Intell and AMD.
How do I choose between the two?
Well I just have read this article AMD vs. Intel: What to Get? Which is Better? - PCSTATS.com
It seems that intel wins?
What is the difference between quad vs Duo?
