Go to www.google.com. Search for "building pc" without the quotes. You will get dozens of pages on how to build a pc.

Check www.newegg.com for some good prices / service.

If this is a one-shot deal for you and your nephew is only 8, and if he is not a heavy gamer, and if you are really not that interested in building computers-you just want something cheap that will run for your nephew, you probably are just as well off looking for a cheap E-machine at Best Buy or Comp USA. You also might try an independent computer shop in the neighborhood that has been there several years and has a good reputation. However, get a good warranty with free tech support. Gateway is very good for this.

It's good to see people who want to learn how to build computers but in this case I would go with Ranchhand's advice and get one from a computer store.

The reason I say this is, if you build one from scratch, you are now going to be your nephew's client support person 24/7. This means everytime he gets a virus, spyware or hoses up his machine (even though he would never do that ;) ) you are going to be the one repairing his computer.

Thank you my friends, I will get one from Best Buy (E-machine), if I build one is going to be for Me and It's going to be a powerful computer. Thank you very much.
