Hello, my name is Jared and this is my first post here. I built an AMD system back in 2001 and retired that a few years later. I am currently using a Dell XPS m170 laptop and I am about ready to retire that system. I want to build my own machine again and boy have things changed in just a few years time. I have spent the better part of the day reading posts and trying to get a plan together.
I use my system for World of warcraft and internet surfing/downloading mostly. I have a 1TB external drive I just bought recently so the 320GB internal drive I selected should be plenty. Im looking to put together a decent machine for a modest price. Let me know what you guys think and thanks for taking the time to help me out!
