so i set it up. am using it right now.
had some bad news happen to me before break. on thursday i got pretty sick, it got worse on friday. sore throat. swollen lymph nodes. could barely open my mouth. so i cancelled my spring break trip.
saturday morning woke up barely able to breathe or...
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...
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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
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...
