Default Re: What To Look For When Buying Computer Components

It's a lot to read. . Good start. Since someone already said something about VGA and DVI, I'll read that section first.

A DVI port can only be found on video cards, it hasn’t been incorporated into motherboards yet, only Vga is.
I would actually say DVI has a pretty significant advantage in picture quality. If you pump a high resolution through VGA vs DVI, the effect is quite noticeable. Digital is more resistant to noise corruption.

What do you mean DVI port hasn't been incorporated into mobos yet? 780G mobos have DVI/HDMI on the mobo itself.

And take it from me, Display Port will be a huge player in in a few years. Will replace HDMI and DVI.. book it!
