I already have Thermal Paste and a Keyboard. Will be using a 52inch T.V as a monitor :cool:
Am I all set? I will temporarly need to be on a wireless N network till I run ethenet wires through the house, so will my motherboard recieve the signal?
 
I cannot find that motherboard on newegg and the Asus website isnt leting me order it. Can I get a link to purchase that motherboard please?
 
that is the link to the mb you chose on the egg. I just posted the link so you could confirm the lan status of it.

Just pick up a usb wireless stick. They can be useful to have.
 
Is that power supply gonna be enough to run this system? I've heard the videocard wont run at full power with just a 750W.

Huh???

XFX said:
500 Watt or greater power supply with two 75W 6-pin PCI Express® power connectors recommended

(500 Watts with 2 6-pin connectors / 550W with one 6-pin and one 8-pin)

600 Watt and four 6-pin connectors for ATI CrossFireXâ„¢ technology in dual mode

750W will be more than enough.
 
Thnx for the info. Slowly getting the parts one by one, should be done by christmas:doh: (money is tight) Putting it together should be a blast, and a headache.
 
Gotta be honest I went with AMD solely based on reviews and that GHz number. I'd like to see what the opposite brand has to offer since all my past computers have intel parts. How can I tell what processor is faster?

Nice build.
That mouse you picked... I guess it is a mx518 copy made by rosewill.. It looks pretty good for $10!
Hope you enjoy your new beast :)

There was a big list of mouses. I was desperate... I closed my eyes ,pointed randomly, and wond up with that one
