Hi,
I am 16 years and i am trying to build my own pc. I want to invest a lot in motherboard and cpu. Also i want up to 16 gb of ram and about 1 tb of hard disk. I don't want to invest a lot in a gpu, i want a cheap but good one. Also i am thinking on using it with windows 7. Also a case with glass so i can see inside, a good cpu and case cooler and of course a power supply. What do you suggest?
Thank's. I will appreciate any help ;-)

If this is for gaming, you need to invest the most in the GPU.

What is the main intended use for this computer. We need a budget too.

No it's not for gaming this the reason i said i don't want to invest in gpu but also i dont want the worst gpu. It's for general use, everything else except gaming. I will use it like a workstation. Also i will use it with proffesional daw programs. My budget is about 800 dollars.

Thank's tiny voices. It's has all the hardware i need. Any other kits apreciated ;-)

Always glad to be able to help. This computer will also play modern games at low settings just in case you ever decide to play something.

If i later decide to play games i can also upgrade my gpu, right?
Also, is it worth buying a custom pc. I mean when the years will pass and this pc will get old do i have the chance to upgrade it or i will have to build a new one?

You will be able to upgrade it, and ye you can add a better GPU without changing any of the other parts.
