So what are the two white slots for? Should I stick something in there while I'm at it? I'm going to get one of the video cards AR mentioned soon,maybe I should get something for the other slots too,seems a waste to just have them sitting there,no?

Awesome, thank you! I'll see if I can spot that thing inside my computer. How much extra power does a decent card need? I saw a couple cards with decent ratings on Newegg for about $60. Could you recommend me a card that is compatible, decent, and well priced? Also,can you spot anything else on...

What is this PCIe x16 slot of which you speak,and what can I do with it? I'll see if I can open the case without breaking anything.

I finally went out and just bought a computer. It's fine and all, but when I play my games at the higher settings, it gets really jerky. This makes me a bit worried about what it will do when I start editing and playing HD video from my camcorder on it.Do I need to upgrade the video card?If so...

I found this deal, and it seems like a pretty good machime for the money. What say you, deal or no deal? Gateway Quad Core Phenom Desktop with HDMI* HDMI Output for an immersive visual experience... $549 $25/Month Hardware Feature Specification...

If you had $800 to spend on a new computer that you were going to use for editing,viewing and burning HD video, plus playing a bit of COD type games, what would you buy? Remember,this will need to be a complete system, no use of previous parts. I'd prefer pre-built, but would possibly consider...

Right, I will have to buy a OS. What is an Optical Drive?

I'll try to link it here: Barebones > AMD Based Kits > Phenom - Socket AM2+ MSI K9N2 SLI Platinum Barebone Kit - nForce 750a, AMD Phenom X4 9850 Black Edition, 4GB OCZ SLI DDR2-800, 500GB HDD, ATX Case, 550W PSU More MSI Computer Products Be the first to write a review...

Alright, I've been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what desktop to get,and I think maybe I finally might have something here. I was going to go to Bestbuy or Future shop and just buy something that looked decent, but since reading this forum and asking some questions, I've learned just...

Haha, looks like we got us a little war goin on! That's all right, I can still learn stuff from bickering! But,back to the software question-what to get, is it expensive etc?

Check out camcorderinfo.com, it has probably the most comprehensive reviews,or try cnet, they're good too. As far as camcorders go, I've done a ton of research lately to try to determine what I was going to buy. It depends largely if you want Hi Definition or standard, flash drive,hard drive...

If I build, how do you go about getting an operating system and software? Is it expensive to buy Windows Vista or whatever you guys use? You know, I don'teven know what "overclocking"means? Ya, I'm that ingnorant,lol. Also, is a Phenom 2 955 a quad core? I kinda need a quad, because everyone...

Why is that?

So I'm still debating the buy vs build, and have my build pretty much planned out, thanks to the help of some fine members here. However, having software and an operating system as well as warrenty is still something to consider. So, if I ws to buy, which of these would you recommend? Of the...

Definitely need a dvd burner, didn't realize I forgot that too. Sata is a brand? I'll check them out. Is there different burners for HD, or do they all do the same thing? Also, I see lots of external dvd burners. Any advantage either way?
