alright... im thinking about building but im not really sure on it all. I know every person on this forum will want me to build but there are several things that i need to ask about.
1) Does the processor just snap into the motherboard? Im not soldering so if not then can i buy one that is already in there?
2) Its all pretty much just snapping stuff into place right?
3) Im not really sure on all of this heat sinking stuff... what is it?
4) the case is pretty much built so that all the stuff is in the right place for the airflow to reach it?
Im also considering overclocking at least the processor, so how complicated is that? Also say that i do end up buying a pre-built computer such as a dell....yeah i know....but will the motherboard be able to handle over-clocking?
Im looking to spend about $1000 on it all. This includes a flat-panel monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse ect. ect..... im planning on using the computer to game, for music, and i want it to run vista. Is this a reasonable price range?
sorry if most of this stuff is completly newbish i dont know much about computers.
