Is building your own computer less expensive than buying one from let's say Dell or Gateway?
Assuming you answered 'yes' to the above question, I was wondering if you guys could help me build a computer. I have no idea all the parts I have to get, and I have a budget of probably $700 or $800. I'm excluding the monitor in the budget. This computer will be for college so I don't really care much about the gfx card (my gaming life has gone down the drain since entering college). Also ignore software and OS, and stick to lower performance sound and gfx cards (exclude speakers in budget).
So can anyone help me put together a list of parts I need to buy, how much they would cost roughly, and maybe where I could get them?
