Hey guys,

I read the parts post but just to double check and stuff can someone give me a short and sweet list of needed parts. I know i need like case,hd,power supply, ect. But it would be big help if i could get a simple short list plz. This way i can use it as a checklist to go find parts then post bout them here to make sure i chose things that will properly work together.

Thnx
Josh

The items you require are:
Case
Power Supply: must meet needs of system
Motherboard: must be compatable with the case.
Processor: Must be the correct socket for the motherboard and should come with heatsink and fan.
Hard Drive: SATA (best) or IDE
Optical Drive ; DVD
Graphics Card: if motherboard doesn't have onboard or you require better
Memory: DDR2 at present and related to your needs
Operating System.

Nice build, everything gets a thumbs up from me. Are you looking to use SLI in the future or not, if not maybe consider a non SLI board as they maybe better for OC'ing (ASUS COMMANDO?)
Also, how about the new 45nm Intels, E8400 Wolfdale might serve you nicely for a similar price to the E6850

im not totally sure yet. i doin a lot of thinking before buying but that system i put together seemed to me to be quite nice. great for my gaming and for being overall faster for program use. little more expensive then i planned but i think this system would work well for a long time. my dell is like 7 years old and when we got it we upgraded it highly and just year or 2 ago i finally was behind for games coming out. but for anyone that checks this out, how do you think this system is and how well do you think it will run. lets say scale it from 1-10.
thnx

Um, why are you buying parts from nvidia's store? You could save over $50 by buying that case from NewEgg, for example, and the PSU is way more than you need and overly expensive. I'd swap out the motherboard as well (I got that one for $130 at newegg, so at least you're being overcharged).

An easy way choosing parts is to start with the motherboard. Find one that would be good for your needs. Read some reviews about it. Then you'l have an idea what to expect from it. Everything else will be purchased from using the MB as your base. Once you have the basic parts then you can start looking for those extra things like lighting and different cooling etc... This is the way i did it and everything worked out perfect.

ok. i really like that motherboard honestly. the case is expensive but i like it but i dont really need it. and i figured the powersupply was a little much lol. i know about newegg is there any other good sites so i can compare prices. any links for site would b great. thnx

ok how bout this guys. saved like couple hundred seems still good. you guys think this board and case are good and will they work together.

Go with a different board.Case is fine.

[Ncc Speed]

ok is there something wrong with that board?

[Carbon]

Yes, from the reviews it's junk. Spend $50 more and get a decent board, you won't regret it.

ok what about this mobo. its another nvidia but i like it and its like 60 bucks less then the first one i chose this one is running for 149.00 and again i thank everyone for all the help im getting. i would hate to not get help and my first build be a total bust.

[Carbon]

Get this one instead. DDR3, way better chipset.

[Ncc Speed]

ok looks good. by the way what is all being talked about when you say chipset just so i can further my understanding of the computer. is it like all of what it handles and the parts on it such as the pci slots and sata slots and all that?
