Ok so as you guys know I had ordered a PC and was waiting on my new rig to show up. After 11 days and the order status still being listed as simply "credit card approved" I called the company to get an update.They told me that my order wouldnt even freaking ship till the 25th. I decided screw it, I am not paying over a grand for a PC thats not as powerfull and then being forced to wait almost a month to get it as well.
I am finally going to bite the bullet and build my own PC.....problem is I really am a complete newbie with this type of stuff. Iv never even replaced my own freaking ram or graphics card....well I did try once when I was like 13 and somehow managed to jack my PC up which is part of why im terrified of now building my own.
I am reading the How to build your own PC article at Toms Hardware, but ill desperately need more help then that. Even though the Toms hardware guide is helping some a lot of its still going over my head. Any other articles or book recommendations are appreciated, but advice and first hand experience is needed much much more!
