Hey guys I have been away from computers since the AMD 1.5 GHz came out, I know a long fucking time eh?

Anyways I may be building some new systems soon and as payment I get to build one bad ass computer for myself, so mainly my question is, where would you send me to get updated on what is going on in the computer hardware wise so I can feel smart again and all that jazz.
 
Check out some of the more recent "help me build" posts that have been floating around here over the past few days.

Also check out the GenHard FAQ/sticky at the top of the first page for suggestions.

Come up with a build -- and a budget -- and we'll critique it here.
 
These forums are all pretty good. Check out stickies on all the different forums. Look at posts other people are making. Read up here. I don't suggest looking individually at a bunch of reviews. Usually the stuff you find here is from real users, and not just benchmarks.

And post a build you're considering. You'll find a lot of people that love giving constructive criticism.
 
Pretty much a gaming rig as far as price goes 1500-2000 sorry should have posted those, as far as getting back in I mean i found out a few months ago about PCIe and, was wondering what other new technologies are out that I was not paying attention too, but thanks for the tip will look into it
 
New technologies.. since PCIe..... DDR3, PPUs, SATA 3.0gb/s, quad channel ram? seems like I saw that somewhere..., hmmm.... SLI... There's a lot :-p
 
Guess so im glad the VooDoo 2 freaking rocked the way it worked i wonder what took so long to get back on board with it, anyways now if we can just get Nvidia to go back to a good naming system for the Cards all would be well
