When I was in 5th grade, I recieved a laptop for Christmas and it always served me well. It's on its last legs and I need a gaming PC. However, since I was never had to know ANYTHING about computers, I know nothing at all.
I know what a computer needs to function (RAM, CPU, etc). I know what each of them does. However, when they add of this stuff such as types of CPUs, graphics cards, and cooling systems, I get lost.
Where is a good place to go to learn of all of this stuff? I need to know what brands of the components there are, and what all of these numbers mean in the names of processors and such. From what I've been reading, this type if post doesn't appear a lot. I'm sorry of this doesn't belong here. Thanks!
