Okay, Floodians. I need a bit of help. My mom's laptop crapped out on us recently, so now my family of five is running on my Toshiba Satellite for everything from work to entertainment. I've been wanting to build a decent desktop for awhile now, so I figure now is as good a time as any. The problem is, I'm not too tech savy when it comes to hardware. This thread will be a big help when I actually build it, but first I'd like some help selecting decent, compatible components.
It would be used for a lot of basic things, browsing, work and school assignments, etc. Also, I'd like to be able to run most games on higher settings. I'm not talking maxing out Crysis 2, but something that's easy on the eyes haha. My internet speed is 20 up, 20 down, not sure if that makes any difference. Like I said, not too hardware savvy :P
I don't really have a price range, but I'd prefer to spend less than $800 if possible, but if I go over it's not a huge deal. I've got a monitor and all of the other miscellaneous things, so don't worry about that. Any and all help would be appreciated!
