Default New member. Need help with new build.

Hey guys,

I don't exactly consider myself good with computers. I did build my current computer, but that's about where my knowledge ends. I'm more or less not educated in the specifics of computers like FSB, caches, etc.

I was wondering if there was anyway to attach a file that shows my proposed build so you all can comment on it. I have it saved on newegg.com

Anyways, my name is Lee. I am a Civil Engineering major at the Ohio State University. My main hobby is cars. I own a modded (done with my own two hands) 2006 Mustang GT.

I hope you all welcome me to your community and provide valuable information as these types of boards tend to do.

Lastly, I was wondering if there was a good website to research computer specifics, and what they all mean. Like I mentioned before, I'm talking about terms such as FSB, L1/L2 cache, etc. My desire is to know in more detail what they mean, and how they affect my computer's performance. Hopefully, I will be able shop around better to get the best bang for my buck.

Thanks!
