Hi i have a 200-300$ budget and I want to get a new motherboard, cpu, hard drive, and ram. any places to shop or general information would be great.
i used to be able to build my PC's but technology seems to have changed. im looking at motherboards and almost none of them have AGP slots for video cards? they seem to all just have these:
2 x PCI
1 x PCI-e x 16 >what do these mean??
1 x PCI-e x 1 >
also, what is meant by "barebone" pc. does that generally means the case will come with it?
and as far as hard drives go, is there a different between IDE and SATA. I guess i will need a new hard drive if they are.
