Hi,
Im building a computer for the first time now. I want it for gaming and general net surfing etc. I just have a few things I would like answers to before I order. My first question was is it better to go for 32 or 64 bit operating systems? I have seen some people complain that some things won't run on 64 bit. Thanks
Second is compatibility.... i'm not exactly a computer wiz and would like to make sure the parts I have in mind will work when i put them together!! Any sugestions would be nice as well :]
