"What Video card?"

"What graphic card?"

They are both the same thing.

Tell me your budget and I can give you a good build.

1. If you are a hardcore gamer, go for a $200-$500 NVIDIA card. If you are a hacker who likes bruteforcing and bitcoin mining, get an AMD card.

2. 1 TB refurbished hard drives go for $80 on newegg. Also, I'd get a $100 128GB SSD.

3. This totally depends on preference.

4. See 'video card'

5. I got the ASRock Z77 recently and it's pretty good. It's like $180.

6. See #3

You're also missing things like processor and power supply... I recommend you go get a list of all the parts you need.

You can get cheap ATI HD 6000 series cards on eBay.

Everything else apart from the motherboard and processor is fairly cheap. Get the mobo and processor as a bundle to save lots of money.

"1 TB refurbished hard drives"

Why would you need 1 TB there's like no point at all. I have 750GB and only used 150GB of it even though I have many programs installed...And lot's and lot's of random recorded videos which each are probably about 696 MB.

If you ever manage to use more than 100 GB, you're incredibly good at wasting space.

FTFY.

I've got 730GB of media on an external HDD. My main linux partition has around 100GB of non media files.

I agree, sort of. It wasn't until after I bought an external hard drive that I created a Steam account and started buying all sorts of space-expensive games. If you're a hardcore gamer, you'll use up lots of space. Also, if you're still stuck in the 2008 era and you don't store your music on the cloud (<3 grooveshark), lots of people have hefty iTunes libraries. Oh, and don't even get me started on those who have families who rely on them to store the family albums on their computers...

*Crazy face*

HOOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"families who rely on them to store the family albums on their computers..."

I understand that...If it's a shared computer you get 1TB...But if your by yourself and not really going to do LIKE Everything on the computer you don't really need it. I mean if your going to find a cheap one that's okey...JUST DON'T ABUSE THAT SSD...THEY SO COOL!

1. What Video Card?
*AMD if you want 3 screens
*NVIDIA if you go for the rly good latest ones but i think AMD has better price-value ratio so if you dont want an uber GPU go for AMD i guess?
*I think games use the nvidia brand thingies like CUDA and PhysX more than what AMD has (idk, both have OpenCL but i think games prefer CUDA)

2. What hardrive?
*SSD if you can pay for one
*some HDD with good speed, good cache and high response times (check dem from de HDD's manufacturer site or sumtin)

3. What monitor?
*Idk, big one?

4. What graphic card?
*U NOOB THATS SAME AS VIDEO CARD GO AWAY

5. What Motherboard?
*One with right socket for processor, and UEFI bios-replacement or whatever it is is nice. And enuf ports for stoof

6. What Speakers( I like music )?
*U NOOB UR MONITOR WILL HAVE TINY SPEKKER IN IT YOU DONT NEED DIS

7.Processor
*Intel unless you use programs that can make use of AMD's 8 cores i think (idk, video/whatever editing, modeling?)
*If ur poor and cant afford 8 core i think intel is better even tho it has less GHz u nob
*Make sure it has mucho cache k

8.PSU
*one wit 80+ certificoot and trusted brand and liek 500+ W or 600+ W if u take uberGPU

9.Sound card
*U DONT NEED SOUND CARD NUB THEY USELESS
