Also I just want to let you know this post was for basic people making a computer who usually buy pre-built PC's like Dell's, but great information for people who want to build PC's, I agree that where you want to focus on is the motherboard and the quaility of parts.

You addised to buy hardware based on quantaty not quality. Your missing the most important things: What the user wants What the user ACTUALLY needs. Buying a rly good graphics card and a poor CPU is worse then buying a medium-speed gfx card and a medium-speed CPU. In addition to that, gaming wise, or for most people, the speed difference between a computer with 3,6,12 GB of RAM is 0%. Further more, most people don't, and wont see a performance difference between DDR2 and DDR3. You basing what someone should buy (for Hard Drives) by their storage capacity. What about durability and speed? My suggestions: Buy a AMD phenom II X3, why? because most games run better with a triple-core then a dual core, whilst performance wise they are similar to a quad core. Further more you have the choice to go DDR2,DDR3. For more experianced people you can unlock the hidden core. DDR2, buy DDR2 800 or 1066 mhz ram. Either from Corsair or OCZ. Graphics: 5770(ATI) or a 260GTX(nVidia), idealy match the motherboard to the gfx card.. Be warned, to really get a fast PC.. everything needs to be top dog.. the performance of a PC can varry as much as 10% just because of the motherboard.. I strongly disagree.
