Custom built computer forum??

i been planing this for a long time but never get the chance to actually done it because i doubt myself, to built computer of my own (assemble it).

so now am on a quest to learn as much as i can about the hardware and their aspect of it to prepare myself.

you got to admitt that spending 700-1000 is a pretty big buck, and not guarantteeing that it will work is a big let down, and a waste of time...

so is there a forum out there or a comunity where they dicuss, and debate on computer hardware that u know of...

computer gaming is what am aiming for...

greatly appreciated,

http://www.tomshardware.com has some great info, both reviews of sites, and some building assistance.

I built my computer last christmas for $1019, buying everything from http://www.newegg.com , so make sure you check there for parts prices.

They also have great reviews.

Bottom line, make sure your different parts are compatible and the fastest/most stable you can afford, and then read the manuals to ensure you assemble them correctly.

Instructions for building a computer will obviously depend on the exact parts you purchase, but you can get great info about the basics from the google search below..

tech-forums.net is a great forum, I've been a member there for a while, but don't remember my user name. I haven't posted in probably a year.
