If you buy a retail MOBO they will fully explain how to install everything most of the time. And we have very helpful members. Also afew of the big names use MSN and such services. If you have a second computer that you have you can keep that running for troubleing shotting. I assure you buying a dell will be a mistake. IF you don't want to build your own go with a qaulity company that doesn't use "Machines" to build there computers and use human labor. Machines are meant to do the job simpley and fast. Poeple don't they do the machine right. So if you really are dead set on getting a PC prebuilt get somthing from a good site like www.ibuypower.com. They got good deals.
