I need alot of help tho, so first off what are all the parts I need for my computer? and for the parts what do u personally advice for cost vs performance.(i mean in the computer if theirs any confusion, like ram, video card, cpu, cooling and even a good case)

The optional stuff u posted i already have (got my old pc to strip for stuff including 5.1surround :) ). Also i have a 96000GT OC, which is part of why i decided to make a new pc. My old case has nowhere to place it (the geforce 5500fx and 9600 have different slot types or something, sorryI dunno alottatech terms)

I just posted about this on my Gamespot blog. There you will find a comprehensive list of all the parts you will need to build a PC, videos, images, and instructions.

Best of luck on your own build.
