Hello All,
Hoping some of you will take the time to help out a novice PC builder with choosing his first PC components. I have never built before but I am looking forward to doing so and have done a pretty solid amount of research on the matter. My laptop has ceased to function and I am hoping to get this desktop together sooner rather than later.
As far as my needs go: I don't really game on the computer much, mostly listening to and downloading music, watching movies/tv, office stuff, and general internet surfing, studying and research. I would like fairly good integration with my speakers and tv (not sure if thats a hardware factor). Most important things to me are speed and reliability, have not had those in a while with my ancient laptop.
Ideally I'd like to keep my spending at about $400-500 (flexible) because I know I will have to purchase windows and other quality items afterward (monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc.) Any and all help is appreciated, if anyone has done this before successfully I would very interested in simply duplicating what has already worked.
Thanks in advance!
