Hi there,
I recently bought a motherboard and am looking to build my own desktop. Has anyone built their own computer recently? Do you have suggestions on how to build a computer? What components are needed.. How much do they normally cost? How much time does it take to put it all together :) ?

My husband has built a couple of his... The last one he built a month ago we spend a little over $1000 on it... it is top of the line and set for gaming... he is a gamer. Took him about 2 hours to get everything in the box and all the software on it... I can ask him for a list of whats needed and not really needed.

I see a possible discussion in that activity :) Do you know what you are looking for when you buy a new computer or even a good used one ? What would be the definition of a good used computer :) ?

It would be really helpful if you could publish a list of components and maybe a cheat sheet on how to put it all together.. when you get done with building your computer :0)
