16 yrs!!! What's it called? An Abacus?

I'm from the built it yourself school but that's not for everyone. Though it's not difficult it could be a headache if you are a novice and you run into problems. Check out Tomshardware. They have charts comparing cpus, graphics, memory with various applications. This will give you a good baseline on what you can expect.
