Okay, so I have a Dell 8400 that is coming up on the 3yr mark and its time to upgrade. I do not want to buy a box computer again so its time to build.
The only thing I will keep from my current rig is a new SATA drive I use to backup files, monitor and my video card that I still like (GeForce 6800). I also have DVD/CD drives that are "new"
What I would like help with is:
Case
CPU
CPU cooler
MoBo
Memory
Power
Video Card (unless my current one is okay: GeForce 6800 256mb)
I have researched everywhere and have inundated myself with so much information that I have no clue where to start.
I will mainly use this system for gaming and some non-intensive video editing.
I really need to keep the build at $1200 so if someone can help me out I would REALLY appreciate it.
Thanks!
