Building My Computer

So my computer is an eMachines T3418 & needless to say it's just about shot. It has the worst processor, terrible hard drive, low memory & is all around a piece of junk. However!! It has lasted now for 2 1/2 years, miraculously. Don't ask me how, with as much stuff as I do on the computer, I'm surprised it's been able to keep up. I'm impressed. But, it was time for an upgrade, a major upgrade. This one is dying intermittently, and I'm afraid to wait too much longer to get one, b/c it's just a matter of time. Like last night for example, I left it on so when Olivia woke up, I could read the news or check my email while she was eating. I got up, went over to the computer & it had magically shut itself off. So I tried to turn it on, and it wouldn't start up. So I finished feeding her, and went to bed. FINALLY 7 hours later it decided to turn on. So, that's when I rolled up my sleeves, logged onto the website & ordered parts to build my computer. I placed my order, and we're well on our way to having an awesome machine. This is the first time I've ever built a computer, so I'm hoping I'm able to do so with no troubles. We'll see. If I DO run into any problems, I'm lucky enough to have knowledgeable, wonderful friends who can assist me in the exciting adventure! When all the parts arrive sometime, hopefully, next week, I'll let you know how it goes. Maybe I'll even video tape it. YAY!!
