Building a Desktop PC Starting Point

[AJ]

Well we are now looking at using what we can out of our current dell desktop, but overall we want to build a new one.

We know we can look at NewEgg.com for everything, but what are some other sites that might help us out when it comes to a wider selection of cases, drives (possible blue ray), and processors.

We really want to do something wild with this one, but yet keep it on a semi low budget. We obviously could look at pre made combos from Dell again for $800-$1000 for something pretty firm, but we want to see if we can build our own within that price range.

I'm thinking I could use the video card & power supply from our current dell system and maybe even more.

The big thing I'd be using it for is video editing and gaming. Jana would be using it for work and music mostly.

So yes, now we have yet another one of these threads, but since new shit is always out I'll wait to see what the sexperts come at us with.
