Hello All,
I'm on a tight budget right now and mainly in the research phase. I'm way behind the times knowledge wise and need some direction. I'm somewhat computer savvy but like 1998 computer savvy. Which basically amounts to not knowing diddly squat nowadays.
I want to build a PC that allows:

I want to build a PC that allows:
[*:667130f90f]True Multi-Tasking. Watch dvd movies, web surfing, emailing and compiling code all at the same time. That's the general idea.
[*:667130f90f]A Mobo that allows for Hardware/Upgrade expansion when I start to make enough money to upgrade.
[*:667130f90f]A mobo chipset that compliments the CPU, Vid card and memory.
[*:667130f90f]A board with PCIe and enough room for a gig or two of ram and SATA capable. From what I've seen so far this looks to be generally almost mainstream now.
What I would really like is something similiar to my comments below so I can do some real research and learning and then come back to this list if I have any questions which I'm sure I will.
I thought that I remember Tom's Hardware site having some links that had a kindof A+ Hardware type tutorial approach that walked people through how the Mobo, Cpu and Memory work together. Something that started out really basic and then progressivly got advanced to the point where one would have a general idea of what hardware to get for the type of system that they had in mind.
Any links to other sites that have that type of learning approach is much appreciated.
Thanks,
JB
