so I'm still working on building my first pc
money and time got tight.
my budget is not ridiculous, but I'm willing to spend a little.
I have this:
Newegg.com - PC Power & Cooling Silencer PPCS500 500W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply compatible with core i7 - Power Supplies
Newegg.com - Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases
Newegg.com - CORSAIR XMS2 DHX 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Desktop Memory
I plan on buying the rest of the parts by the end of today hopefully.
I have picked out this, what are your opinions:
X 2 Newegg.com - HITACHI 0A38016 1TB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive - Internal Hard Drives
Newegg.com - Foxconn G31AX-K LGA 775 Intel G31 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz 6MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops
What else do I need? I don't need extreme graphics or anything, I'm not a gamer, just a computer science student who doesn't know how to build a computer yet.
Do I need a heatsink/fan?
What speakers, keyboard, mouse, monitor (I was thinking refurb'd monitor)
wireless adapter?
materials besides a screwdriver?
am I missing anything
