Building a computer
I'm going to build a computer but It's been 3 years since I built a computer but I am retired form the computer field so I built and loaded over a thousand computers but today I don't know crap. I'm looking for the best bang for the buck so I'm figuring but don't know say a i7 CPU but I do know that the motherboard needs to support USB3, and SATA3 (6 gigs), and DDR3-2000 because I don't want to look back in 6 months and say "Oh I wish I would of gotten this or that" so I'm trying to get it right the first time around this time. I would like to run two monitors so I don't know anything about that so I need advice on a video card. Any advice would be great and I'm thinking of spending a grand plus or minus a couple of hundred because I'm thinking about Blu Ray, SATA3 Hard Drive, 28 inch monitors from tigerdirect.com for $250. I'm really not concern about the money but I don't want to spend hundreds of dollars just to make it 5% faster. Now the real question. I have XP with a Vista upgrade so do I put an upgrade Windows 7 which means I now have 3 OS's or do I just spend another hundred and just buy the full version?
Thanks
