Alright guys, my name says it all. I read through most of the other threads and see the advice you guys have given. The only problem I;m running into is the price range. Basically I' looking to spend in total to build my new pc and get my wife a tablet for $1000. So any suggestions on a tablet would be great too. Mainly that would be used for going online and playing some games and reading books. Nothing fancy.
What I'm looking to do is build a desktop from the ground up. I have monitors and the other stuff, I just need some help on what else to get and where you suggest I get it. I looked at some barebone kits on Tigerdirect, but have not had good experience with them in the past.
As far as what I'll use it for, it's mainly going online, downloading movies music etc., Playing some games (nothing hardcore), occasional movie, office work and streaming into my xbox and playstation.
So my question in starting from the case and going from there what do I need? Do I go with intel? AMD? what type of motherboard? Graphics card? etc...
I'm not completely computer illiterate, but looking at all the choices that are out there today I'm clueless on what to get???
I know this is a lot to ask, but even a point in the right direction or some general advice would be great.
Thanks in advance.
