Hello,
My name is Nathan. I am only 16, and wanna build my first (!) computer. My home computer recently crashed, and my moms laptop sucks. Right now i dont even have anything to hook up my zune to, or sync new music, or anything.
I DO however, have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and some crappy computer speakers from the old one. So those aren't included in my budget.
I'm trying to get a loan of like.... 600 from my grandma. I have a steady way to make at least 40 a month, plus christmas and my birthday around there, I should have it payed off by around new years. II hope she'll go for it.
My friend, whos a computer nerdish type of person, suggested i build a computer. He built his. He said he could help me put it together once i got the parts, but my job is to research all the parts.
I dont even know where to start. I'm not an IDIOT with computers, but i'm not smart. Ill read here various things, and not understand half of it.
So my budget is 600, and Ill need all the parts, and windows 7.
What I want from it: Just a solid computer. I do watch tv/movies on it, and listen to a ton of music. Ill probably need atleast a 320hdd or 500gb. I don't necassarily plan on playing games, but it would be cool to be able to run some. Not stuff like Crysis or COD, but maybe like halo 2 or 3 and what not. I would prefer 4gb of ram if I can. Thats all I know, i want 4gb ram, and at least 320gb hard drive. I know nothing else about parts.
Where I can buy: doesn't matter. newegg works, or whatever yall suggest.
Any ideas? Thanks.
