Hi All!
Just joined the site and am impressed with all I've read already! Have had 2 retail systems and I am ready to build my own! My current system is a 6yr old Dell 4550 Dimension that I will give to my daughters since I have replaced PSU, has 2 HD- 450GB total and think I upgraded memory at some point. I use mostly for business apps, video burning/editing and obviously internet surfing. If I can build a gaming ready system for a few dollars more i will do that. Just not alot of time for gaming at this point. I am a DIY in most other areas and enjoy the self-satisfaction of building things myself. I would like to get the most "BANG for my BUCK" without sacrificing quality. My budget is in the $500 range or less if possible.
I am now familiar w/newegg and realize this is where I can purchase my components.
Just confusing with all the options! Are the combo deals worthwhile or do they package inferior w/ quality to move product?
Intel, AMD or Gigabyte for Motherboard?
Corsair 400cx PSU seems to be a great value @ $39 after rebate!
I am looking for recommendations for everything!!
Thanks in advance for your replies!!
Paul
