This will be my first build
Posted: Wed Jan 17, 2007 8:31 am
I am custom building my own computer. I do have somewhat of a budget about maybe $1000 but I am willing to go over. I open to any opinions, recommendations, and ideas. If I leave something out or if these parts aren't compatiable let me know. Also I have read many books on building and a few sites I would be open for you to share some books and sites for me to look at. Thanks
