Purchasing Advice:

1.)  Look into buying a mother board that can be expanded, I suggest an ASUS board.
 
2.)  I am not totally power supply, motherboard, and CPU assembly savvy, so I prefer to at least get those items pre-assembled.
 
3.) If you plan to do some installation your self get a system case which is roomy.
 
4.a) With technology moving along so fast, look into other uses for your old computer parts, I am going to turn my old box into a firewall.
 
4.b) If you plan to get rid of your old computer and its too old to donate to someone, please try a recycler. A recycler can reused the plastic parts and save the land fills from the growing number of computer parts throw-away...this includes many monitor tubes.
 
5.) Take the, "We have tested these parts to make sure that they work together the best," slogan with a grain of salt. If you are buying name brand (leaders in the market) parts, you should not have any problem. The leaders in the market have got there because of a reason, they have good parts with little problems and are very compatible with any system.
