Well, last few computers haven't performed well, so I'm trying something new.
Building one.
But, I know almost nothing about components, and since I may be spending around $800 (US) ...
Kinda wanna make sure to build it right.
It'll be used for school and internet, buuuuut I would also like to play WoW, Minecraft and maybe Fallout 4 when it comes out. Some minor photoshopping as well. I probably shouldn't do the game parts, but, it'll save me money in the long run this way.
The main problem with my old computers was that the parts used weren't upgradeable, and we're quickly unsupported (graphics chipset purchased in Jan 2011, last driver update was Feb 2012, and they abandoned it shortly after). So, I would prefer to be able to upgrade too.
Any ideas on where to start? Websites, tools, etc.
Tried looking to see if this had been asked before, but only found build help requests.
