Computer-stuffs.

Okay, so, my Dad is going to help me build a new computer over spring break, since mine seems to be essentially dying. He's a Systems Engineer, and does a lot with circuitry and programming and such, but he's never built an entire computer before

Unfortunately I don't know much about computers. That said, I do know that newegg is pretty awesome, and normally has good prices and super-fast shipping.

Wish I could help more!

Haha, yea. That's why we're getting everything out of there. But even super-fast shipping won't do any good if I can't get it ordered xP Especially since I now need a new video card D:

"That's going to build a nice machine. I'd certainly accept it with no argument. My only other advice is to suggest they find a motherboard/cpu bundle, rather than buying them separately. This guarantees a good match between the two and is usually signifigantly less expensive."

She also recommended www.tigerdirect.com as a good shopping site, because "[they] will not allow you to buy the parts to build a computer if they don't go together, and are really good about suggesting parts and helping you set a budget. I had nothing but good experiences with them."

So there you have my friend's opinion.

Thank you so much, hon. Dad already ordered the parts, but it feels better to have someone else support the choices. ♥♥

Oh! One more opinion:

"Looks like the spec is missing a sound card. TBh this one is probably fine
