Well, even though I've never built a custom computer, a friend asked me if I'd help him pick out some parts. I've never built a custom computer before, but I've done a bit of research. I think what he was looking for was something that he could use for gaming that was under 500 bucks. He says he wants to use it to record Minecraft videos.
So, here's the rig: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1GDg3
So pretty much what I'm looking for is that I'm not making a bunch of huge mistakes, there's no bottle necking, and most importantly, that it works. From what I read, I should be staying away from AMD, but it was the best deal I could find. Also, what are your thoughts on downgrading to a 1GB video card, and upping the RAM a bit?
Thanks for any help I can get!
Btw, if you'd like to continue helping a guy out, I have quite a few questions.
- What do I need to know about picking out a case? Will pretty much any case do the job?
- Anything I need to know about memory speeds?
