A note about 'bottle necking'

If you have been looking into making a computer sooner or later you will see the term 'bottle neck'. A bottle neck is when one part of the computer vastly overpowers another. This is bad because your computer will have to limit parts to stay in sync.

It would be like owning a truck that could pull 10,000 pounds and only having a four foot trailer, even though your truck could pull a twenty foot trailer fully loaded, you can only load it with what you can fit in the four foot trailer. The trailer limits your truck and makes all of its extra towing capacity go to waste. 

So when building a computer, remember to spread your money evenly. If your budget is $500 don't blow $200 on a processor, because you won't have enough left to buy parts that match its quality.
