Do it yourself PC Question

It's as easy as reading the manuals that come with most of the parts.

If you ever get stuck, just come back here or do a quick google search. :/

Anything from the Asus or Gigabyte P35 range is recommended!

Motherboards (whichone you like):
- Gigabyte P35-DS3P
- Gigabyte P35C-DS3P
- abit IP35

As for RAM, go for cheapest pair of DDR2-800 2GB (2 x 1GB) from companies like Crucial, Corsair, OCZ, Geil, Patriot and Super Talent.

I was thinking about getting a new gaming computerand my budgets $1000-1500. If i got a computer from IBuyPower they would make it for me but after newegging the parts i realized i could build it for half as much. So is it hard to build your own computer and is there a book, magazine website or something to show me how to do it. The most techincal thing I've done for computers is put in a new graphics card. Thanks in advance.badgert

Here's one I built for $800.

Less than that total out of pocket with rebates... I'd go cheap in case you mess something up on a learning curve factor... Then work your way into the big buck parts... You'd feel pretty bad if you damaged a $400 video card, or processor, or mobo, or all of the above.
