Hi,
So I am in need of a new computer and in the past have ALWAYS bought computers pre-built. Reason being is because I have absolutely no knowledge on PC components and I guess all the hardware scares me off. So I am going to attempt to build my own and hopefully it works out for the best.
I would GREATLY appreciate the help.
My budget is going to be around $1000.00 (all for parts, no monitor/keyboard/mouse required) but if possible would like to spend less. I am wanting a computer mainly to handle BF3, does not need to be on all ULTRA settings but at LEAST be able to run medium perfectly fine, maybe high on 1680x1050.
I am hoping to make this a weekend project and would like to buy whatever I need at MicroCenter. If you guys could make a list of everything I need to build this computer completely it would be GREATLY appreciated.
http://www.microcenter.com/storefronts/byopc/index.html (I am from Long Island, so in the drop down menu at the top that's whats selected so it filters whats in the store I think.)
I know this sounds completely lazy but I am really dumbfounded when it comes to whats good and whats not good regarding PC components.
Again, a list of what is needed would be amazingly appreciated.
