Information to assist you in choosing components...

You may like to visit The PC Guide; they have an excellent PC Buyers Guide which is very well thought out and put together..."After reading this Guide--or even parts of it--you will be in a better position to buy a PC that is right for you than 99% of the general populace, whose buying strategy often seems to resemble a game of chance. While there's a lot to absorb here, as with the rest of the site you don't have to read it all in sequence or in one sitting, but rather focus on the areas of greatest interest or concern to you."

sharkyextreme.com also has a great set of guides..."PCs are a complex mesh of a hardware, which is why we've simplified the terminology in the form of 'Guides'. Everything you wanted to know about PC hardware but were afraid to ask and more can be found here."

Tom's Hardware Guide is another site worthy of mention; look for 'Tom's Guides' in the index to get you started.

Computers, like cameras and watches, are technology. With technology, you will get what you pay for; the trick is to purchase a level of technology suited to your needs and budget.
