Ok. So I want to buy a new pc that'll build myself.

The only problem is, I'm having trouble thinking of what I should get. Any suggestions?

hmmm..from someone who hasn't custom built a computer before (talking about myself) I'd try ibuypower.com or cyberpowerpc.com. There you can "custom" build your computer. By "custom" i mean choose which components you want and they'll build it for you and send it to you. Note it's very pricey and fast.

Also try tigerdirect.com it's like newegg.com

See, I prefer to build it myself.

CyberPowerPC is just TOO expensive for my liking.

Budget, Peformance, and what you would be using the pc for would certainly help.

Yes, you need to figure out what you want to do with the computer before you start thinking about which parts to buy. How long do you plan on using this and how much are you willing to spend? Are you willing to wait for sales and rebates or do you want everything now, no matter the costs? Are you going to be running Windows, Linux, Mac, or some combination?

...I want to buy a new pc that'll build myself.

However, I really wouldn't recommend that. It could be nice having a twin around for a time, but what if the pc doesn't want to stop building and creates an army of yourself? What if one of you murdered someone? Would you be willing to go to jail for that? Also, I would expect a person building computer to be extremely expensive. Sorry, but I just don't think you've got the money for that.
