Where's the NOOB section?

[gshock]

I'm new to building my own system, and I need to replace my mobo and cpu, but I'm severely lacking in knowledge to figure it out for myself. I think I'm just annoying people on here asking all these basic questions.

Is there a forum for noob questions like this. Or is it just a really steep learning curve?

Just post it in General Hardware http://hardforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=40.

Everyone started somewhere so don't worry about your noobish-ness.

yeah sure there is a noob section: http://forums.anandtech.com/

But enough with the dick answers. As long as you search, no one should get mad at you for asking any question, no matter how "noob" it may be. People get upset when the same topic is asked 14000 times.

example: which is better e8400 or q6600 (http://www.hardforum.com/search.php?searchid=10438696) THAT is ridiculous

Or the other variation: Dual core VS Quad Core, E8500 VS Q9550, ec.

Seriously OP, don't ever ever ask those two questions. Probably the most annoying and redundant question asked on the forums

Anyway, just check the General Hardware section. There's even an FAQ there for newbies like you to computer hardware. And definitely use the search feature.

Start out in General Hardware and after you feel comportable with the overall operation of your computer, start branching off into the individual forums for the parts you need information about.

All:
Thanks for all the feedback, even the sarcasm. It's always good for a laugh. Seriously, thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I appreciate all the help, and most of all, the patience.
