That's like saying, "I want to buy a new car."  (Honda Civic, Ford, BMW, 
Ferrari, sedan, coupe, convertible)

Only YOU can  decide what YOU NEED, what YOU WANT, what YOU can AFFORD, etc.

You haven't given us any idea why you need a "powerful PC."  Are you playing 
games?,  doing spreadsheets?, weather simulation?,  etc.

I suggest that you look at recent copies of PCGAMER magazine.  They offer 
suggestions for various budgets.  Look in "Tom's Hardware Guide"  or 
"Extremetech" for reviews of equipment.  Look at the customer reviews in 
NewEgg for real-life opinions.

When you know the answers to the three questions on the second line above, 
then write again, and, maybe, someone can make a reasonably informed 
suggestion.

Subject: [PCBUILD] building a PC


I am interested in building my second PC.  Used a Barebone the first time 
and build from there.  What would you suggested for this next pc.  I don't 
want too many extra bells and stuff.  Mostly a good powerful PC.  Suggested 
vendor.
I used Newegg and extra parts I had around the house before.  I have been 
looking around on Pricewatch too.

Thanks in advance for the suggestions.  There are times I get a $99 24 hour 
sale from Tiger Digest for a barebone.  But not sure of total capability 
sometimes.

Veronica
