    AMD is okay but it also gets hot fast and is louder.
    That's the downside of AMD.

    Do you think I'll run Tf2 and Source Film Maker (not at the same time) fairly quiet?

    I'm pretty sure you can play TF2 without having any problems but SFM is a bit 50-50.

    That looks really nice. With this, I have to build it myself?

    I really don't have the time or patience to do that. What do you think about cybertronpc. They have pretty good stuffs where you pick the compatible parts they show and you can buy the pc built. They also sell at frys and best buy.

    Buying prebuilt is a bad idea, they tend to overprice for lower spec parts, there is really not much that is hard about it, and if you need help, i'd be glad to.

    I actually have an actual example of this. My dad was going to buy a new custom computer for my mom for Christmas. He bought it and it had several problems with it. It was priced at around $800. It was a piece of shit. No separate graphics card. The people that built it didn't even install the all the drivers correctly. So I ended up researching all the parts that she had in her computer. Put in tax and shipping with the parts and it all came out to a total of about $300-$350. It is really a good idea to build your own computer, as you will be paying much less.
