I have a Dell Inspiron 530 I got as a gift when I was going into high school a few years back. A day or two ago, she was working fine, but then it finally gave in. I thought to check my hard drive, and that wasn't it, as I upgraded it this morning and did some other poking around. The poking around ensured that the motherboard is fried.
I'm not super tech savvy but I have some basic knowledge. I know that to avoid upgrading my computer later and to have a quality PC on a budget, I can build my own using guides found online.
My biggest issue is what should I buy as in Motherboard and Video cards wise? I need to find a motherboard, cpu, power supply, a case and every other component needed. I bought a SeaGate 1 TB HD that runs at 7200 RPM, so I'm content with keeping that. I don't have a huge budget, but I figure I can use spend around another $450 in total to put this thing together. Can anyone help me out and suggest some stuff that will work ? The main usage of the PC would be for general gaming and browsing the web. Thanks.
