Building my first computer

[ez0k]

alright ive decided to try to build my own computer instead of buying a prebuilt one because of the superior quality you get. After some research ive decided on these parts...

hard drive: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=22-140-133&DEPA=1

memory: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=20-223-008&DEPA=1

Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=13-138-232&DEPA=0

Processor: http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproductdesc.asp?description=19-116-161&DEPA=1

floppy: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=21-103-116&depa=1

ive never done this before and i wanted to know if these are good choices and if ive overlooked anything

thx.

If I were you, I would get an AMD processor instead of an Intel. The Athlon 64 is a much better gaming processor. Also, I don't see a graphics card listed. If you are a gamer, you will want nothing other than the GeForce 6800 GT.

would this be what your talking about

im not sure thats compatable with the mobo i picked out

as you can see im not going for the most expensive stuff out there im not really going to be using this computer for playing games i might even sell it after i build it i just want to build one with my spare time

Get that 64-bit processor with the Asus k8v Se deluxe mobo. Its not compatable with that Pentium 4 mobo you picked out.

 

[ez0k]

will this mobo be compatable with everything else i picked out?

alright ive rethought this computer i want to build i only want to know if all these parts are all compatable with one another and if they will run well together

yeah, the CPU and mobo are compatible, the graphics card is not good enough for you other items, I would recommend a 9600Pro or a 5700Ultra for that computer, if its not outside your budget. and with the memory, have you look into getting a 2x256Mb set so you can run your ram in dual channel?

You will need to buy a heat sink and fan for that processor, it is OEM, i.e. you only get the processor.

That is a poor graphics card, what games are you interested in playing?

 

[anarkhy]

very poor graphics card

 

[ez0k]

well i wasnt interested in playing ANY games that would require a good graphics card but im gona put this on hold until i can get some money and build a decent system
