I am looking forward to knowing enough about computers to comfortable tackle the idea of building my own system. I want to be able to change parts through out time to save money using standard parts, and to try to reduce waste in getting more longevity out of the case, and components. I do produce some graphics so I need a decent machine, but nothing fancy by any means. Just something that can last a while.
You'll want a Intel Core2 Duo/Quad, or an AMD Atholon X2/AMD Phenom for a modern computer. There's also Intel Core I7, but their a bit new n high end for most folk's need's. depending on if you get an Intel or an AMD processor defines what mothterboard you'll be getting. try to get one with the newest chipset, support for DDR3 RAM (even if you get DDR2 now it give's option to upgrade. A good modern board will support upto Core I7 giving option to upgrade later, but you will be able to stick most Core2's in. As for AMD most will plug in an AM2 chipset. Though the Phenom's may need their own, I don't know a huge amount about Phenom's except they didn't have as much oomph as anticipated. AMD's cost less then a similar GHz Intel. But Intel are pretty much king of multi-core currently.
