I think It would be fair to start this off with simply stating that I have no clue what I am doing, but I guess I am very willing to learn. I wanted to build a computer partly for the experience and partly because its cheaper. I need help with pretty much everything, but for right now it is getting the right parts. I want to use this computer for every day computing and for gaming. But I still want the computer to play games 2 years from now and not have to repeat this process. I do not plan on "overclocking" (I’m not really sure what that means), or trying to test the machine to its limits. I just want it to always work, 100% of the time with ZERO lag. The following are some ideas of what I was looking for and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction (i.e. brand or better product)
Processor-AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo)
Hard Drive- Looking for 1Tb, nothing more?
Ram- Looking for 16gb?
Graphics Card- I’m not sure what I am looking for really.
Motherboard- I have not a clue
Case-I don't even know where to begin
Optical drive- Blu-ray (that’s all I need, right?)
Power Supply- I’m not sure.
As you can see, I need a lot of help! If I left anything off please bring it to my attention! Also, don’t be afraid to bash my decisions! Criticism helps!
