a couple "building my rig" questions

im pretty new at this, so pardon my stupidity, but i just have a couple questions. first of all, i basically have my processor, motherboard, video card, cd/dvd burner, case, power supply, memory, and hard drive picked out. not to mention monitor, speakers, keyboard, mouse, etc. is there anything else i will be needing? im not sure if there is anything im forgetting.

also i know i need fans, but im not sure to what extent. how many fans will i be needing? i have a dual core 2.20 processor (intel), an nvidia 8600 gts ssc edition (256 mb), and an xfx 680i sli motherboard. 600 watt power supply and 250 gb harddrive. any idea on number of fans i might need?

i think thats about it thanks for the replies. (in advance)

Sounds pretty similar to the PC i'm looking at building except am going with the 8800GT or GTS, also just an Idea for you check out ETCcomputers.com (also canadian) and look at the ASUS P5N-D its an Nforce 750i motherboard only a bit more than the XFX 680i and quite a bit better since its supports the new 45nm technology and PCI-e 2.0.

thanks ill check that out. but if anyone could help me with the fan issue thatd be great, i linked the case a post or two up. thanks everybody.sportsdude56

Well from the pages detailed specs section:

So there's what you'd need.

I understand why you're going with it as it's part of a barebones kit but honsetly, IMHO, don't think much of the case at all.

I'd just buy an Antec 900. That and one extra 120mm fan for the side and you've got a much better, cooler case with 4 120mm fans and a 200mm fan.

And as the previous poster stated. Get the 8800 GT.
