Do we have a Troll here? Somebody want to build a computer and doesn't know how to adjust the monitor screen?

There are plenty of threads concerning parts and opinions. The first question is how much do you have to spend? The second question is where do you live? Where to buy the parts is geogaphical. Are you in the US? Outside the US? Large metro?

Remember, computers are about running software. Do you have the software? Are you sure? You will need a copy of Windows and other software to run whatever hardware you purchase, like DVD playback and burning software.
