The animated guide to Building a PC. Learn to build a PC from scratch with PCitYourself!

My advise is to let these guys pick your parts out for you and then use the link above as your assembly guide. If you have any problems you just have to ask for help :thumbsup:

And I would avoid the watercooling until your a little more experienced. Those cheap kits they use in a "Pre-built" PC should be avoided. If your not overclocking the stock heatsink is fine and if you do want to learn overclocking then a good aftermarket heatsink will do the job as well or better than a cheap watercooling kit.

this is MUCH better, for cheaper, but its AMD, you can get it pretty close to the same price if you change out MAD with an I5 750

but this has a 5870 and a 6 core AMD processor.

if you are going to disregard what we are telling you, thats fine.


i would go with a X58 i7, that platform has the biggest buffer for " future proof ".
