    Hi all,

    I want to build an own computer, but I think I dont know about some parts so could you guys hook me up with a list what parts there in a computer(like the most stuff I know but sometimes I just forget something)?

    Also dont tell me to buy a computer from a company, no I just wanna build it myself(have experience in building in GFX cards,motherboard, harddisk drives and ----... And my dad works with computers since the first computer came out so I have help).

    I only want a general list like:

    -Motherboard
    -HDD
    -GFX Card

    See what I want? :)

    Greetz, Xenobia

    Dont forget a good power supply, very important. But a lot of times they come with the case.

    I have had my Asus for a year and a hlaf and have not had one single issue with it. Maybe you happend on a bad one?And 80 Gb of data is plenty. If you have more than that, you need some help. I have 3 drives but only use 12 Gb on one of them, the others are backups of my data.
