I've got some knowledge on how a PC works but I've never built a system from scratch. However, I'm tired of the POS comp's that I've bought in the past (from Compaq and Dell). The one from Dell wouldn't even let me use and AGP video card, it had only PCI slots on the motherboard.
SO...I want to expand my knowledge a bit and build my own PC. Primary use will be gaming, especially MMO's with some FPSers on the side. I play around a little with photo editors, but am not too concerned for storage space as I don't do any heavy downloading. Ideally, I'd like to build something that I won't have to touch for 3 years and still be able to play everything with all the bells and whistles. I can fork up ~$2000 for everything.
