Do I discuss it here, in Hardware, or in Gaming? Didn't want to start the post in the wrong place and get moved :geek:

Thanks!

Here or in hardware is probably OK.

What do you need to know?

If you are concerned with getting the correct parts, the following would help;

Parts not needed (carried over from an existing PC)

Preferred vendor in your country.

Thanks Igna,

I am going to start my post in the Hardware category since to me it makes more sense. To me the majority will be hardware items, motherboards, graphic cards, cases (new and existing), hard drives, SSD's, etc.... The reason I asked is it is going to be a gaming machine, and I didn't know if their was a specfic "Build A PC" area somewhere I didn't see!

Hopefully I'll see your comments and help about the system I want to build in the Hardware forum!

Thanks again!
