I've never build a computer before, but I've heard it is exciting, and cheaper. My current desktop is 6yrs old and I'm now ready to upgrade. There are some many new features out there, and that is why I want advice/help. I want to build the best/fastest system for my money. I want the graphics, the speed, the technology, the blue-ray/burning/picture and video editing and some gaming. Not sure how much to spend, but would like to keep it bellow $2,000.00. I won't be overlocking. Just simple office work, net surfing, music downloads, home video/picture editing. I've debated back and forth about getting a MAC, but I'm so used to Windows that I think I'm going to stick with it and build it myself. If you had between $1,500.00 and $2,000.00 to spend right now in computer, how would you built it? I'm kinda asking for others to do my homework, but I just want to get this right. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.
