ok guys, im making my first PC. No price limits, just take me longer to save up :P

ok... i got a powersupply, and im getting a hard drive soon.

any other good parts i should get??? ie: GFX cards, CPU, Sound Cards etc...

hmm i dunno about buying it bit by bit. by the time you fire it up, 1/2 your parts will be out dated and cost 1/2 as much :/

hmm... good point. i thought of that. so your saying i should just save up and buy a ready made PC? but then i would have to put all parts in my case and put in my power supply

[Steve]

or just save up and buy all the parts at the same time

somethings wont change much > psu, case, monitor, mouse, keyboard etc.

but maybe get the other stuff at the same time, mobo, cpu, ram

ok. cheers steve dude. you think i should get a harddrive now?

[Steve]

i think it's ok, they are so cheap now that i dont think they will move much

ok. thanks for the advice

get the mother broad first then tower case work your way up, some HHD will not work with all Mother broads type get a tech as a buddy who live near you to help pick what you need. less headacks.

ask some people who go to work and if they know a tech who work on their system who may help you pick Hardware for you or point out to get.

I'd save ALL the money first tbh......

work out how much the rig of your dreams would cost at this point in time, save that amount , then go buy it all at the same time m8

You'd be miffed if you went out & bought a nice shiny component to find that 2 months l8r, when u have saved the rest of the money your shiny component has gone down in price by 25%.

I know it's really tempting to go & start buying stuff, but.......What's the point in buying a HDD if it's just gonna sit around gathering dust for a month or 3??

retailers will ALWAYS have special deals on, u just need to shop around at the time
