Hello all. I am eager to learn as much as possible about computers, given that I finally have some funds avalible to buy components. As I am completely new to the world of building one's own PC, I don't know where to start.
I have between $500-600 Canadian dollars to spend on the case components (Moniter, mouse, keyboard speakers etc are taken care of). I want to eventually have a mega powerfull gaming system that will easily handle games like "hl2" "Doom 3" and "World of warcraft", but for now I am content with playing games "Diablo 2", "Counterstrike" and "Myst 3", so for now, it just needs to run games like that. I know I don't need much power to run those games, but I do need a motherboard that is affordable, reliable and upgradable with lots of room for memory (As I have been told) so that I can upgrade it to be able to play those ubber powerfull games.
What are the steps to building a system? Where should I go to get current, up-to-date info? Any books I should buy? I am all alone in the venture so I don't know what to do. Any and all help and advice will be much appreciated.
thanks,
