hey guys.

my friend suggested to go to this forum to learn about "building" a gaming computer or at least, the hardware. i am indeed a "noob", but i am familiar with the parts. the problem is i just don't know which ones are good, what goes with what, or which one is more compatible with this part and so on and so on. i tried to find a thread or category relating to my issue so that i can have a better understanding. i can't seem to find a "general" or "off-topic" category on this site. so any suggestions on where i can start off? or a website that'll give me a better concept/understanding? i don't see my friend very often and he was suppose to help me build one, but our schedules always seem to conflict one another. anything will help. mucho thanks :confused:


btw, the items that i have so far is a antec case and power supply (haha...). my current computer is 4 yrs old (with a slight upgrade of memory and videocard) and amazingly it can handle some of the games i play (i.e counterstrike source or 1.6, even bf2142 & tf2 haha--a bit laggy, not like a slideshow tho =P). i definitely do need a upgrade!

Moved this to General Hardware as you will find much better help here for hardware related issues.
 
Welcome......

Now listen....errr, umm, read...

Get a piece of paper, PENCIL, sit down, turn off tv.....

Now WRITE down the questions you have. It doesnt matter what they are, just write it down.

Now, organize them to where each of your questions falls into one of the forums subtitles. i.e. "What video card should I get?"...that question would be organized into the Video Card section.

Once you got your questions organized. Type them into the appropriate forum sections. Ask as many questions as you want, there is no limit and no dumb questions cause. at one point or another ALL of us had a time we were right where you are now.

You will get the answers to your questions much quicker this way by talented people who know their shit. To use an old saying......If I can do it, heh, YOU can too....easy as that.
 
Welcome to the team, I was in your shoes a few years back and still have a lot to learn about PC's.

Remember what, Danny Bui, above said and have lots of patience and cash. Cash is always good when you have computer problems.

Also have fun. :D
