[QUOTE="jdc753, post: 3626121, member: 572078"] Exactly, even if you don't know what your doing reading the reviews can be very helpful. Honestly when I am picking out components I will find what has a lot of reviews, plus the capabilities I'm looking for and then I will read the negative reviews. Seems anyone can right a amazing super review, but mostly it will be those who truely know what they are talking about that will find flaws with stuff and limitations. Some of the 1 egg or whatever reviews can also be from total boneheads but for the most part I find them the most informative. Research is your friend and you will be happy with what you get. Honestly building a computer I would say is far easier than building a good audio system, but you do have to pay attention to the details and what not, make sure the MB you are getting is the same socket type as your CPU and supports the ram you picked and has the appropriate AGP or PCI-E slot for your video card and ide or sata slots for your hard drives. Also unless you really need a new monitor, new keyboard, new mouse, and a new printer and whatever else they bundle up and aren't terrible concerned about gaming then it wouldn't be too bad buying one of the generic HP or Dell comps, but if you plan on doing much of anything you will get a far better machine by building it yourself.
