Yeah I don't know what kind of computer you would want for 300-400, but I'm guessing it will suck and be a piece of shit 6 months from now.
Me I was looking at a hardcore gaming PC last year and I was going to spend over 2.5k on a prebuilt one.. then I looked up the parts and I realized I could build a BETTER one myself, with MORE ram, a FASTER processor, MORE video card power, MORE hard drive space, and BETTER components throughout, for about 500 bucks cheaper.
So I guess it depends what you're after. If you just want a piece of shit metal box with generic parts to surf the internet with.. sure go buy a $300 HP or Dell, but if you want a high end piece of technology, building it yourself is the only way to go.

connect the power supply, add memeory, drives, plug in the
cables, add cards for various functions, hook up the peripherals
and power it up, install the OS and have fun

Pris is right. It's really easy to do. You can throw together a PC in 20 minutes or less.

it you're seeking a career, A+ is the least of your needs,
monkeys can read a post code, how many beeps during post
suggests a memory error on an award bios, which is the most
confusing (that's phoenix), PCs are easy, I went from auto
mechanics to PCs in a short time, played with DR-DOS, MS-DOS,
Unix, SCO Xenix, VMS OS, all in the first 6 months, within a
year I was doing circuit board repairs and turning SIMMS into
SIPPS and vice versa

I still have no certifications, nor does a friend of mine that
now heads the IT department for the 5th largest telecom in the
Domican Republic... Certification isnt for someone that's just
building a few for himself and friends, it's for the guy that
wants to build a career

www.newegg.com


GREAT site. good review system, and GREAT fast shipping. amazing prices too. ...at least in my experience. ive ordered from them many times. always great.

make a list of the essential components and the optional ones, and start a budget. start picking parts and play with different builds in your budget. make an excel to do this. then when youre ready, order.

case
motherboard
cpu
cpu heatsink/fan
hdd
RAM
video card
sound card
powersupply (if not included in case or if you need more watts than that included)
disc drives
keyboard
mouse
monitor
extra fans for case
speakers
ribbon cable if you need it

water cooling system :wink:

i mightve left some things out, its been a LONG time
