Alright, basically in the past week I've started from looking at the major computer companies, to custom computer sites, to now (ordering separate parts). I'm not necessarily doing it myself, as my parents are shaky on that, but our computer guy is offering to put it together for $80. And I figured that beats both the major companies and custom computer companies.
The budget is roughly around $800, and I'd like to play modern computer games so I'd like a good graphics card. And preferably parts that will give it a longer lasting value for the future? (Such as quad vs. duo, as I heard quad will be needed more in the future... if that's true)
Here's my build so far, please leave your suggestions if you have any! :-D
Oh, and I also wont be overclocking, so idk if that changes your recommendations but I thought I'd throw that out there.
