Thanks for that.

I desperately want to build my own system, but I just don't trust myself.  If it was my own money maybe, but it is a family members.  I have learned my lesson with purchasing pre-builts.  But it comes down to finding people to build it for me.  I have looked around and the website I linked seems to do it as cheap or more cheap than any others, with good customization options.

What GPU's would you recommend?  If I was to go AMD for CPU's what sorts are good do you know?

currently AMD is far behind in the CPU department, Intel core i3 scores way higher then the best amd has to offer. 

Trust your self its so not harder than what you think, watch some tutorials 

Where did you hear that? AMD's Phenom 2 cpus are awesome. AMD cpu's are only a fraction of the cost of an i7 cpu, but still comparable. I'll admit i7s are better, but not nearly as much as you make it out to be. The price difference is far from worth it IMO. 

only if i can find the report but i was reading an mighty long test report of stuff i hardly couldn't understand but all points pointed to the i7 Destroying AMD 6 core Black edition by so much. But really no point arguing, its up to you, get what you want. 



Of Course That's Just My Opinion, I Could Be Wrong
