Hi I need some help building a computer and I was wondering if the community here could assist me in building a new computer
.
-What are you going to use the PC for?
This computer is going to be used for general browsing the internet (like Youtube) and some gaming (a 3D game like WoW)
-How much is your budget?
My budget is around $600 or less.
-Where are you located? (a.k.a. fill out your profile)
In profile.
-Are you willing to buy online?
I've bought online before from Newegg and Tigerdirect. I'm trying not to buy from too many different websites and hope to stick with Newegg and Tigerdirect if possible. (Just found out Tigerdirect has no tax charge or shipping charge ._. )
-Are you going to re-use any parts from an earlier build?
No. I don't intend to re-use any parts.
-Do you need other peripherals like a monitor, keyboard and mouse, among others?
I do need a monitor and input devices such as keyboard mouse and speakers. I don't need anything fancy though.
-Have you already bought any parts?
No I haven't bought any parts yet I hope to get the opinion of you guys first.
-Do you have an Operating System (OS)?
I do already have an OS System.
I was thinking of following the guide from Techspot https://www.techspot.com/guides/buying/page2.html . Should I just follow the guide and add a GPU, a different Optical Drive, and perhaps invest in a better power supply because last time I got a 480W PSU and I had to downgrade on my GPU because my PSU couldn't handle a better one. Also perhaps different RAM because the one on the guide are a little bit on the expensive side as of now. I wouldn't mind following other build ideas if they're around my budget. Anyways thanks in advance.
