I want to build a computer and would like a good site where I could put one together and maybe see if it works.
Answer
do you mean website? IF you want to build a computer from scratch there are a few good places to look online for parts: newegg.com, zipzoomfly.com. For advice on putting it together - it depends on what its for. Gaming rigs are best with the dual AMD processors. Anthing involving multi-tasking, stick with intel processors. You'll want a mobo (motherboard) that has a PCI-E slot as AGP will soon be phased out. Also make sure your mobo can take 2+gigs of ram and have the slots avail. If you go with Windows, the next OS will need a gig to simply RUN the OS. I would also check www.sharkyforums.com on further advice on putting your computer together.. We can give you best info there. Also you need to be very specific on what you want your computer for and what your cost is. We can recommend parts that can run you several grand or several hundred depending on your requirements.

Read, watch you tube videos on how to install motherboards and CPU heatsinks. Get the info you need to build your own. It isn't hard at all, you just have to get the needed info. You can save thousands and still have a better computer than even an alienware that will be out of date within the next year.
Next question is how much you want to spend. The sky is the limit, but you have to set yourself a boundary. You need a good processor, at the same time you need a good graphics card. The real question really boils down to what monitor set up you are going to use. There is no use overpowering your rig, if you only plan on using a CRT monitor. Same thing goes if you are buying 3 24", no use getting an under powered rig for that set up either, both cases will lead you to big disappointment...
CPU wise, an LGA775 is out the window, LGA 1156 is your baseline and LGA1366 is overkill.
Average monitor, you might as well bite the bullet and get the best graphics card you can afford. The graphic card wholesalers have figured out the benifeits of SLI and crossfire and raised the price on the lower class cards in accordance to their crossfire or Sli abilities. You aren't going to find two lesser cards for less money than the bigger card anymore. 2 5770's with a power supply is going to cost you more than a 5850, and will run on the same power supply... 2 5850's will cost you more than a 5870, and a 5970 will cost less than 2 5870's...
I myself still say the Fermi is the way to go, a 470GTX or a 480GTX is bottom line FASTER than their ATI counterparts, for the same money. Yes the 470GTX and the 480GTX are power hogs to an extent, but NVIDIA has always led the way in terms of graphics quality... They haven't arrived at newegg as of today, but I am still waiting on their arrivial, to replace my 285GTX.
Like I said before, an alienware computer that costs $2500, you can build for $1700, big thing is, if you buy an Alienware computer, there is no way I would buy it without getting a good warantee with it, which will run ya another $300-$500. If you build, you have RMA potential from every part you purchase and don't have to pay additional for it...
