So thanks to a tax return I'm going to end up with $1300 to build a pc... I should say my first because the piece of crap HP I've had for the last 4 years I don't want to dignify as a pc lol... Anyhow I'm pretty naive & I'm at least smart enough not to trust my own judgement. Here is what I have so far critique at will;
This pc will do a good amount of gaming, a lot of dvd/cdr burning, fair amount of storage & a lot of in general mindless browsing. I noticed everyone likes newegg around here but I just found this forum & am a fan of pricewatch so I ended up going with supergooddeal.com customized barebones system

**update**
After using the search functions thoroughly (thanks to all you cpu gods out there) I decided to save up a litte more & buy a better pc...
