I had a HP laptop that was about 5 years old. The connection to the screen broke but it runs okay. I have to connect it to a monitor to use it. I am to the point where I would much rather get something new. I would like to build a computer. My skill level is slim to non-exsistant. I was suggested Chaud's builds. I looked them up but am still a little overwhelmed. I would like to build the best computer possible for under $800 so I was looking at puppy and dolphin builds, but I have a few questions.
Where should I spurge for better parts?
Where can I save a little money on "puppy components"?
What should I buy online? and what should I buy in a store?
Budget: < $800
Resolution: unknown
Games / Settings Desired: Mostly League of Legends preferably max video settings. Terraria occasionally.
Any other intensive software or special things you do (Frequent video encoding, 3D modeling, etc): None
Country: USA
Parts that can be reused: Only have a laptop with a broken screen, I do not feel comfortable in my own ability to reuse parts having never done this before.
Do you need an OS?: Since I'm not sure what that is I am assuming no.
Do you need peripherals (e.g. monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers, etc)?: Keyboard, Monitor, and speakers needed.
Thank you for your time! If i have asked redundant questions I apologize.
