https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=6762845 Some questions I am still not sure about with my build. 1. That OS, it's 32 bit right? 2. That graphics card will connect to my motherboard just fine right? 3. That motherboard, and rest of the stuff, it can fit just fine in my case I picked out right? (motherboard needs 24 pin power, not sure if case has that) 4. I got all the stuff needed for SATA right? 5. How big of a power supply unit am I going to need? 6. Is there anything that is wrong or a bad choice to buy you think? (I'm not buying this as a gaming computer, I just had the okay graphics card in there for "just in case") I'll find a mouse later at best buy, all the ones I see on newegg are fancy ones, and the power supply unit which I am not sure how big of one I need, I could get at best buy also when I get my mouse.
If it's not a gaming comp switch out that E8400 duel for a Q6600 quad. Yeah it's 32bit and yes it'll connect fine. You'll need about a 450w. The case is fine, but if it's not a gaming comp why don't you get a smaller quieter one?
I hope thats not a gaming computer because if so you spend way to much money on pointless things like 4gigs of ram thats not really anything special , a highend motherboard($130 something) with a cpu thats already high clocked high(can buy a $55 cpu and overclock to the exact speeds of the E8400 easy), case that even if it does look good is pretty expensive you really dont' need that much cooling. After all of those parts you decide to list a below average card that can't even really utilize 512mb of VRAM,
My point is thats its useless to buy highend ram/motherboard to not overclock which is a waste this no difference than if you got $40 ram and a $70-80 motherboard. Also its pointless to pay that much for a case thats not special and then make your gpu suffer because of all of these choices
How do I know a case is quieter? Everyone that reviewed it said the case is silent. How is my gpu suffering? Can you suggest another one at about 100 bucks? And my computer is going to expand. The case is something I really just threw on there. Havn't found a really good looking mid tower yet, especially since all the good looking cases turn out to be false colored ones. Everything there can fit in a midtower right? I mostly game online, and pc online gaming is ruined with all the hacks, that's why I just stick to my ps3 for online gaming. But, I do play some games, (All the command and conquor ones, mostly will get Red Alert 3 for pc instead of ps3 because of all the mods you can use, and most likely will get Delta Force: Angel Falls),
So basically because I don't have a uber graphics card yet that it is a waste?__Sniper_28_
Um no because you got highend ram/motherboard and you won't overclock. Thats kinda the reason people buy those parts and you could get a much cheaper case to cool your system. There's lots of waste in that computer even the video card because it can't utilize 512mb of VRAM

That exactly true but its you still wasting money either ways........ If your not overclocking then your wasting money on highend ram/motherboard and if you are overclocking your wasting about $150 on just the cpu. Its a lose lose situation. As for video card this comes to around $100 after the rebate http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130333 the problem is you probaly wouldn't go back to playing you ps3 because it would destroy it in performance and you would realize that hacks aren't that big of a deal anymore thanks to online pc communites that are alot stricter/better than the ps3's community

And about the hacks, I remember playing Joint operations and just getting ripped apart by hacks, obvious hacks too. It's so common that people online, even on the offical servers, talk about where to get hacks and pretty much everyone uses hacks now so that it is "even". Seems like the longer a game is out, the more hacks there will be. President IFV ect...

Nope it will work just fine on your motherboard
So whats that 2.0 thing all about. Some say 2.0 some don't. Edit: I googled it, but it says that sometimes 2.0 cards don't work on 1.0 motherboards... __Sniper_28_
2.0 is backward compatable with pci xpress 16 so yes it will work. There's a few older motherboards/pci xpress 2.0 combo's that have shown issues but its nothing that involves you in your situation.
Well then, I think I have enough to expand easily, besides, also it's my parents money :-) They said they would be completely fine with buying me a new computer for college. Monitors also are really expensive :-( At least I know I won't be running out of RAM every 5 minutes like I do now when developing software.
