I want to put together a decent gaming/video-editing computer. More
specifically I want to take 40 years of VHS family movies and put them
on DVDs, and I don't believe my current computer (Abit KT7a AMD
Athlon, 1.2 Ghz) which I built three years ago can handle that.. plus,
I am looking for an excuse build a new computer. I will be giving the
old one to my wife (grin).
I have been out of the loop so long, I really don't know what's hot
and what's not. Any suggestions of what would be a good MB/CPU combo,
as well as what to stay away from, would be appreciated. Also, any
suggestions of a good vender wouldn't hurt. I purchased my last combo
from J & R Computer. I was pleased with them, but they might be on
the high side.
Thanks
