If you have any interest in building a computer (which is really a lot easier than you might think!), but need some help choosing parts, I would love to help! I'm rather experienced in this, having built a computer of my own (which gets an average of 200-400 FPS on Far), and designed several computers for friends. If you want me to design a computer for you, just fill out the application below:

Note: All prices listed are in US dollars!

Budget:
CPU: Intel or AMD:
GPU: AMD or Nvidia:
Focus:
What Parts Do You Already Have:
Do You Have A Monitor/Operating System:
What Peripherals Would You Like:
Any Special Notes:

NOTE: The more information you provide, the quicker I will be able to design your computer, and the better it will be!

Example Application:
Budget: $800 - $1000
CPU: Intel or AMD: Intel
GPU: AMD or Nvidia: Nvidia
Focus: A good GPU
What Parts Do You Already Have: I have a CPU, a mouse, and a keybord.
Do You Have A Monitor/Operating System: I do, a 24" Asus and a copy of Windows 7.
What Peripherals Would You Like: A gaming headset.
Any Special Notes: I don't have much space under my desk, so make it small. Also, I need a good keyboard to go along with it.

Once you have your parts, I would advise checking out Newegg's in depth video tutorial here:

Looking forwards to designing some awesome computers for you all!

Any Special Notes: I am able to have a largw computer, due to my large desk, however if $1000 only gets a small cpu then ok

Well, I might consider getting one in a few months, so might as well, right? ;)
Budget: Hmm...probably $800
AMD or Nvidia: Nvidia
Focus: All around good PC, capable of running games like minecraft very well
Any Special Notes: Keyboard recommendations would be nice too, nothing too expensive.

I'm a bit of a PC builder too. Lemme put you to the test.

Budget: $800
CPU, AMD or Intel: Intel preferred.
VGA, AMD or Nvidia: NVidia preferred.
Focus: Solid entry-level gaming computer.
Any Special Notes: Will require a total build, including peripherals and a headset. User is a first-time PC gamer, so peripherals only need to be basic and functional, but not excessively cheap or low-quality. Skip speakers, and go for a headset.

Funny how he didn't even ask for the CPU, AMD, or Intel :p

Budget: $400-$500 I know it's not much :l
AMD or Nvidia: Preferably Nvidia but it doesn't really matter.
Focus: Able to run Minecraft well, and possibly be able to play games like BF4 and Elder Scrolls online at the lowest settings with possibly more than 20 FPS?
Any Special Notes: Nothing.

That's actually a lot better of a question then I was asking. I was wanting to make the process as streamlined as possible, but, with only a couple of minutes to make the thread, I didn't pull it off all that well. Anyways, I'll be designing the computer for each of you as soon as I get home!

Yeah, because everyone on the thread voted for Nvidia so far :p
