Computer Retard Needs Help

[I Iced I]

Lingo means like slang for language, i know what a processor etc does. My budget is around $1,000 australian i have been quoted $1,067 from a bloke around the corner and he will make it for me. I want the experience and i'm going to chance building this computer myself, I'll be laying off runescape to get extra cash for my leet computer.

What i want is a lag free processor and RAM i can buy 1 Gigabyte Sticks for $80 australian each. I was hoping to fit in like 2-3 Gig of RAM and a fairly speedy porocessor and a leet graphics card. If i need more i may go upto $2,000 australian. I'm only 13 so it may take me a while but meh i'll enjoy runescape longer. If anybody could link me upto a good computer building guide it would be great. I'll porbably run Gamerz windows on it which i can acquire off a friend free of charge which is great.

If you could give me tips on how to save an extra couple of dollars it would be great, What sort of processor? Dual core or Normal. I'm leaning towards the dual core processors with 2ghz. each way.. Will this be fast enough? if you can post what will be needed muchly appreciated.

THANKS!

Runescape doesn't need much to run I currently have 1 gig of RAM in my computer, get a good processor though that where you'll really notice a large difference

Ok, thanks.. I'll get 2 gig of ram and spend the rest on a processor ;s... what about cutting costs on other things to get a better processor?

My computer has a:

Intel(R)

Pentium(R) 4 CPU 3.20GHz

3.21 Ghz, 1.00 GB of RAM

and it doesnt lag too bad but i wanna upgrade my own computer maybe a dual 2 Ghz. Lol..

Uh, off the topic, can you tell me where do you get 1 gig sticks for $80? I've looked everywhere but they've all been out of my budget
