This is touching a couple really touchy subjects on this forum...however I am really tired of repeating myself on every question I answer, so I am creating this in personal reference to link it to my question, if anyone else uses it, please do not blow up my inbox or message or respond to this in regards of arguing. Anyone that does will be reported, no questions asked. Again this is a personal use, if you want to use it great that is what it is there for, however I don't want any responses or comments that are not questions (not arguing questions either). These tutorials will be constantly updated to provide the latest information for computer buildings.
What This Tutorial Is All About:
So first off I just want to take a minute and thank you for reading over this guide, and I honestly hope that this guide can be of some use to your future build. This guide is going to show you how to select the best components for building your computer. I know that the computer component world is a very very vast world, however a lot of it just requires a couple of tricks in order to better understand them. There are certain questions to ask yourself, before you do any picking out of components.
Also the site I recommend this site to piece out your build (Change the country after you create an account in the upper right hand drop down)
Questions To Ask Myself About The Computer I Am Building?:
First Question: What is my primary reason for building this computer?
Is it for gaming, music/video rendering, music/video rendering, everyday use, or major multitasking? Whatever the reason for building your computer, it will be used for what you want, and chances are that some components are better then others for achieving this goal.
Second Question: What Is the Budget of The Computer?
This will determine a lot of what you will use as far as components go in your computer. There are the cheap parts that perform well, and then there are the expensive parts that perform just as well, the difference lies in the components and paired with what other component.
So Without Any Further Explanations Lets Begin Discovering What Lies in The World of Computer Components: (All of these links are linked to pages right here at Tom's Forums Click To Open Page):

Actually Building You Computer (Piecing It Together):
I thought that I would include this in this tutorial since i was not originally going to, but these set of videos helped me when I first built my computer (All hosted by Newegg & Very Helpful):
Part 1 - Choosing Your Components
Part 2 - The Build (Actually Putting Your Computer Together)
Part 3 - The Final Touches (Installing Windows & Finishing Up)http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RxaVBsXEiok
Otherwise the rest is up to you.
Well this is the end of a very long guide, but after reading this through you will be ready to build your first computer with the parts that you hand picked by yourself. This way is generally a lot cheaper then buying a computer from a store. Plus it is built for what you want as well. I thank you for the time you've spend reading this, and if there is any other questions I can answer please don't be afraid to ask, and like I said make sure you check back for regular updated on the guide, as it will always include the latest information (Technology is ever changing).
