I need some Hardware PC-Building Help

[Astro]

Okay, I'm thinking of setting up a new computer together and I honestly am not up to date with today's hardware (I'm starting to skim through) so I wanted everyone to try and help me build a decent computer.

First of all I don't want anything too expensive, I don't have a set price but, please try not to go overboard. I don't need a computer that out-specs every game by 2 years, just something that will let me play all the games in the market so far and last me for some years.

Any tips?


Thanks

I'm dumb when it comes to this but...


WOAH DUDE. Haven't seen you around in forever! :O

If you don't want to outspec anything for two years and save some money I'd advice you'd go for AMD

Their new processors (Phenom II) are more than decent enough to last you years to come and pretty low budget compared to some intel processors

They also got DDR3 motherboards now, again, not nearly as expensive as what you would have to pay for a i7 one

Not bashing intel, their stuff WILL outspec anything that comes out the next couple of years but what's the point.

At any rate it comes down to your preferences, check it out and its up to you

Here's a couple of good hardware sites for you (Portuguese :3)
