After reading my last post and the response I got I decided to look into maybe just buying my own parts. I have posted a list of a different computer parts list but I am thinking of changing it up a little. Mainly the processor. I am thinking of going with the phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition. Mainly just thinking ahead for the future. Not sure if the 6 core is really worth spending the money over the quad core.
What do I need to look for when purchasing parts to make sure that all are compatible? I would hate to purchase all these parts and none of them be compatible.
Once everything has been screwed into place, how difficult is it to get all the drivers installed to I can be up and running. Not really a whole lot of computer knowledge but guess you could say I can "hold my own" when need be, if that makes any sense. I would really like to try to build it myself just for the self satisfaction of it.
The original plan was to build my own from the start but got nervous about it when I was told about having to go online to download all the drivers.
Is it really that hard to do? The same system with ibuypower that was 1700$ I can do myself for $1233.48 There may be a few differences with things such as the fan or the gaming case, but as far as the processor and motherboard and memory they are the same with a 800 watt power supply.
