I am going to BUILD my next computer myself (1st time). I was wondering about some research I have been doing in that some people are talking about a "burn-in" time with the puter. Is this necessary and what is involved...obviously I need to get the puter to do some major processes to get it to full load and stuff. Am I right or am I completly off? Any help would be appreciated. What is your budget?

What are you going to use the computer for?I do my burnins for 24 hours...a bit of overkill but habit.

What is your budget?
My budget is going to be about $1200.00, I would feel comfortable with that. The parts I have picked out from new egg will be about $1000.00-$1100.00.
What are you going to use the computer for?
I am using it for everyday stuff (internet, word processing, and of course games). I have a pentium 4 3.2 ghz puter with a graphics card that will have problems with most of todays games or maybe all of them. I have been playing Neverwinter nights and want to play neverwinter nights 2 but I am unsure if my gpu will handle it. I also have a 400 watt ps so that if I was able to upgrade the gpu I would have to upgrade the ps and that would cost quite a bit so I might as well get a new system but I also realize if I buy one off the shelf then it wil be out of date by the time I get it out of the store. I will post my new system in a few minutes as soon as I am able. Thank you for all your advice and help.

Do you have to do a burn-in TEST and is it necessary?

I want to try this and I think since I will not get my new system for a few months (WAITING on tax returns) I will try this on my current system.

You're getting good at quoting posts here...

My computer system the system I have now and the system I plan on PUTTING together.
