well im going to try and build my own computer, i dont want it for gaming just for the basic stuff, such as internet, email, homework, and basic stuff it is my first computer so i dont want to spend a lot of money on it, for OS i was thinking a Linux based instead of Windows due to money budget, so does anybody have any suggestions on parts, software, etc. any and all help would be appreciated
thank you
First off, I'll give you the list that I usually use :
Basics: 1. Computer Case 2. Motherboard 3. CPU 4. RAM 5. Hard Drive 6. Graphics Card 7. PSU 8. Optical Drive - DVD/CD Drive 9. WiFi Card (optional) 10. Aftermarket CPU Cooler (optional 11. Operating System (Essential!)
Then you also need to consider : 1. Screen 2. Keyboard / Mouse 3. Speakers
As for specific parts, that really is down to your personal preference and budget. If you want to save a bit of money, try to stay away from Intel processor, try to go for an AMD Sempron (Single core processor) or an AMD Athlon (Dual core processor).
Other than that, it really comes down to your budget. Once you've chosen your parts, send us a post with a link to all your choices and we can have a look over it.
