I've decided to build my own computer, only thing is, is that I don't plan on building it. I will have it assembled at a MicroCenter. I'm a pretty broke guy and I can't afford to fix it if something should go wrong.
My needs for this computer are simple. I don't plan on gaming with it. I'm not a PC gamer. If I ever do game on it, it will only be games like Slender, and that's it. I plan on using this as my personal home computer and moderate video-editing with programs like Sony Vegas.
Someone on this thread told me to go with this sort of build, except I changed it up a little, tell me what you think:
