Hi. I'm looking for a online PC building website for the beginner, with loads of pictures and explainations. I've found a few but they seem to be a few years old. I've got experience of changing RAM, cards and hard-drives, but just need some help with the other stuff.

Regards.

OK thanks stelly. It won't be for a month or two but I will post my spec for the members to critique. The thing is I need a PC for games and music production (reason, cubase etc) and I've heard that its incredibly difficult to get a stable music PC thats good at games to, especially on a slender budget which is all I have.

hp7909 - thanks for the links. I will take a look at them soon.
 
Hey Warren,you have an idea what platform you`ll be going with?.
I made mine 4 months ago to do both daw and some games,and didn`t forsee any problems.I then updated my old soundblaster card to an audiophile 2496 (worth it for daw).
I`ve had audio drop outs with oblivion and clipping in cubase.When i mailed maudio they said that nf4/ mobos are known to have issues (especially combined with a high end graphics card).
I`ve had to put the latency to 36ms from 2ms to stop the drop outs,and this seems to be quite common for users.I havent really done some heavy music composition yet to really test it out yet.
Theres more info here,and a thread from nuendo users which may shed some light before you buy.
