I've gone through quite a few store bought/custom ordered PCs, and I finally figured it was time to build my own (Since I need an upgrade form my mini-tower). I've set it up so that down the line I don't run into the current problem I am having, which is a lack of being able to upgrade. I am also thinking of throwing in a wireless card so that I won't have to use an external USB stick for that (as I do not have any wireless to use). I was wondering if anyone could give me any advice on making it cheaper, or anything to do with an internal wireless card.
