Im new to these forums and I am also nuilding a new computer. This is my first build though i have taken a few apart and watched some builds. The only big hassle with building my own is there is so much technology out there that i get flustered with all of the numbers and brands and so on and so forth. I have also been trying to find the best deal and get the best price at the same time like everyone else. So here is what i have/ and what i plan on buying. I would appreciate any suggestions or alterations. I am pretty stuck on amd processor and ati vid card. Im trying to keep the "What im planning on" under 1000$ and I need to know if you have any experience with any of the brands (good/bad) and input is highly appreciated. Thanks
