I'm looking to build a computer next year and want some reading material to keep myself up to date with the computer world

Which magazine is best, PC Magazine, PC World, or Computer Shopper?

I would go with Maximum PC. It is well written and funny. There's a lot of tech info and the writting is lively.

Don't bother with Maximum PC for two reasons.

1. They have a 0 - 10 scale but were willing to throw it out for Half-Life 2 just so they could give it an 11. If there was ever a time you could say a critic sold out that was it.

2. The last issue I saw they said they were dropping all low and midrange reviews. The print magazine is going to be nothing but high end gear. Unless you have a lot to spend I suggest you look elsewere.

Try Computer Shopper.

CPU, but i don't really like it anymore, so i'll go with the overclocker. Really they're all useless, you can find all the info you need on tech sites.
