    College Student's Desktop Build - Looking For Advice on Selected Parts

    so i bought the computer. changed the keyboard and mouse for a combo that cost 10 dollars more. i also stuck with the 640gb hard drive. i really doubt i'd fill up the 640gb, so a TB was overkill. I will post results when I'm done with building it. might not be a for a couple weeks since I have...

    Is there a big difference between the 790GX mobo and AMD Phenom II X3 to the X2 7750 + 780G mobo combo? Is the790GX and AMD combo worth the extra $80?

    Ya. As of now my plan is to get the 780G and stick with the 22". 2 more inches adds a LOT of extra cost (100+). Not worth it to me.

    I think I might be getting this monitor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824009145 Acer 22" for 160. My question is, I like my resolution to be fairly high. My laptop now is at 1680 x 1050. This might be a stupid question, but I will be able to make my resolution...

    College Student's Desktop Build - Looking For Advice on Selected Parts

    So I dropped the Video Card. I also switched to Danny Bui's suggestion of AMD CPU and Motherboard. My cost now is 805.19 (including taxes and shipping). I am still unsure of whether I'm going to get a bigger monitor not or yet. So as of now. My computer costs about 600 (not including...

    I can understand cutting down on the video card. I definitely won't be doing any intensive gaming. Maybe something along the lines of Counter Strike, or Unreal Tournament, or a game like Diablo. Nothing with cutting edge graphics. So, does anyone have recommendations on a cheaper video card?

    College Student's Desktop Build - Looking For Advice on Selected Parts

    So, I've been thinking about all these suggestions. As silly as it might sound, I'm looking for a powerful computer that will get the job done on anything I do in the next 4-5 years. I, to a certain extent, want it to be well rounded so that if I may, perhaps, get into editing video or...

    College Student's Desktop Build - Looking For Advice on Selected Parts

    I was told by a friend that the quality of dell's parts aren't amazing compared to the ones I've selected so longevity won't be the same. And I know it might seem like I'm overdoing my build, but I want a pretty fast computer. I feel like for me, the longer I use my computer, it slowly loses...

    Ya. I'll be browsing, movies, music, multi-tasking with Microsoft Office Programs, and using AOL, Skype, etc. No gaming. Thanks for your help.

    College Student's Desktop Build - Looking For Advice on Selected Parts

    Thanks. My friend helped pick them out. Will this last me a while? Assuming I stick to what I said I'd use it for, Browsing the web. Watching and downloading movies. Listening to and downloading music (A LOT). Using Microsoft Office, is this a good build that should last me 3-4 years of fast...

    College Student's Desktop Build - Looking For Advice on Selected Parts

    A friend recommended I use this forum to find advice on my build. My friend told me you guys know what parts work well together and what don't. Hopefully, you will be able to help me out. I would be extremely grateful. I will post what I have so far, along with price. The 10 Questions will be...
