I have $1500 and want to build a stable system and will be doing some pictures, movie down loads. I like AMD , Abit and Crucial products. I need some place for reviews to read along with some of your tips please.
Thank you all

Buy a Dell and save yourself a lot of trouble. If all you're doing is pictures and movie downloads then a Dell is the way to go since you can get a GOOD computer with an LCD from Dell for $350-$400 now if you catch them on sale.

Just make sure it has 1 GB of ram and take off all of the unnecessary software and extras it comes with and you won't pay more than $700 for an insanely good computer.

If you want to play the newest videogames on it then it's an entirely different story however.
