Hi I'm looking to build my own pc after spending hours of looking through prebuilt pc's and having none of them fit my budget >_>. My pc recently crashed so I'm not sure if I can salvage any parts.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: 1-3 weeks from today
BUDGET RANGE: $500-$600
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: gaming, movies+videos, surfing web, homework
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg, but anything that has cheap prices for good components will be a plus.
PARTS PREFERENCES: mid tower, intel processor
OVERCLOCKING: idk how to so.... maybe
MONITOR RESOLUTION: max is 1440x900
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: windows vista with possible windows 7 upgrade, and I'm not sure if I should use my old hard drive(250gb but idk where the OS is installed, if it is installed in hard drive, then I want a new hard drive.) Idk if i should use my old "supermulti" optical drive(No idea what it is).
thank you for your time, since this is my first time and I'm paying for this myself, it would be a heartbreaker if this fails after spending more than half of my summer job money on it lol.
