I would like to get parts to build a new comp. I dont do much gaming, but I think thats because my graphics card isn't so good.....So if I have a good gfx card I would probably do some heavy gaming. I mostly surf the net, music, movies, and a little gaming. This is the stuff i picked out, but I really know nothing about computers, so i need to know if this stuff is good and is compatible with eachother.......

You really need these: Memory - Team RAM is supposed to be great. Graphics - 7600 GT is good bang for buck. PSU - Antec Truepower? Sound - No idea, onboard should do for you.
What you have picked out so far is just fine. Although, since you don't know much (which leads me to assume you don't know how to OC extensivly), I would suggest this Motherboard: Biostar TForce P965: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813138037 For Memory, I wouldn't get the Team Memory, it's too expensive (unless you just get 1GB.) For a 2GB kit, I'd probably get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16820150054 Graphics card: 7600GT: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16814130073 And this power supply: Enhance ENP: http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?p=PS-E5150GH&c=fr&show=r That puts you around $930. If that is too much, drop the RAM to some $210 kit.
thanks for the help. Do you think i would need 2 gig of ram? I was thinking 1gb but as i said i know nothing about computers...only know how to use them lol and will that graphics card play good games?
I'd suggest putting off building a PC for a bit, it's a big job and won't be easy for someone who doesn't know much about hardware.
yeah, you'd be better off with going to ibuypower or cyberpowerpc, they will build it for you, with only a little cost above newegg's price for seperate parts..
I know...I would do that but the thing is, I'm not getting all the parts at once. I will get some parts for christmas and a little bit after...then my dads friend will build it...........
Ok, no offense guys, but why be so.. dumb? Why does everything make it seem like constructing a computer with a few parts is so ----ing hard? Lets kind of go over what you do to put all the parts together. 1) Take all the stuff out of the boxes. 2) Place/mount/screw-in the power supply; it's really easy, the holes always line up. 3) Take a few screws out from a bag that comes with the motherboard/case, and screw the motherboard into the chassis (it's really easy, all the holes align nearly perfectly. Just remember to touch the case before handling the motherboard, that will cancel out any static electricity.) 4) Unlock the CPU Socket "latch". 5) Place the CPU in the socket. 6) Lock the CPU socket with the "latch". 7) Mount the heatsink by placing the 4 mounting pins through four holes on the motherboard. 7) Punch out one of the slots in the back of the case (where you're video card would stick out; usually is like the first slot.) 8) Push the video card into the PCI-E slot. 9) Screw the side of the video card into the case (where it sticks out; I can't think of a way to describe where it is .) 10) Slide your Hard Drive(s) and CD/DVD Drive(s) into their bays, and screw them in. 11) Push memory into the memory slots. 12) Plug in all cords to their respective places: -20/24 (2 rows of 10/12) Pin Power Connector to the 20/24 Pin Slot on the Motherboard. -4 Pin Power Connector (2 rows of 2) to the 4 Pin slot on the Motherboard (usually is directly next to the 20 Pin Connector.) -Plug in the 4-Pin Female Molex Connector (1 row of 4) into the CD/DVD Drive. Also connect any extra fans, LEDs, or front panel displays into this cord type. -Plug the 6 Pin (2 rows of 3) into the Graphics Card. Did I miss any steps? My next post will describe how really not hard it is to install windows.
