Hi,
I am looking to build a new system. I have always been a store bought computer buying, just walking in to the store and picking up a system already built for me but I have been thinking about building my own for quite some time.
As far as what my wife and I currently use the computer for: general internet surfing (although wife wants to start to download music), e-mail, some gaming (simulation games like SimCity or Age of Empires, other games like Syberia).
We would possibly like a system that we could use to watch/record television shows.
It has been awhile since I've looked at new computers so I am not really sure where to start. I don't really know what type of components to be looking at and what is good enough for what I want to do. I want something that will work great for what we want to do now but also not become outdated very quickly. Can I get any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
