The most difficult process of building your own computer is deciding what you want in it. Your have plenty of options but for now let’s just focus on the two major factors about your computer....AMD or Intel. Read all you want and do all the research your heart desires but this is mainly a factor of preference. AMD and Intel based computers will run almost the same and chances are you will never be able to tell the difference. The only exception to this is that sometimes one or the other will occasionally offer better or newer technology than the other. A personal preference of mine is to stick with the one you trust. If you’re just starting out on your own and don't have any idea of which to choose than you will probably want to go with the cheapest route. The market changes so fast that some times AMD parts are cheaper than Intel or vice versa.
