[size=4][size=2]Hi Everyone;

Okay I’m finally going to build my own PC. These are the parts that I think will work together but I’m really not sure at all. As far as I know I’ve compiled a complete list of parts but I’m probably missing some stuff.

If anyone who has built a PC (ie. Grimdeath I know you’re a pro) could look at the parts I’m thinking of using and let me know if need anything else I’d be really appreciative. It be really helpful if you could post links to products that you think are more compatible as I’m just a newbie embarking on this computer building adventure.

[color=Red][size=3] edit: I’ve changed all the parts so that I could get everything from tigerdirect.ca. and downgraded the pentium extreme processor (it’s just too much) Thanks for the link krilnon[/size][/color]

Well that’s it. What else do I need? I’ll get one of those static wrist bands, do I need extra cords or does everything just kind of plug in to one another?

Thanks
