First build

[Mrfreckle]

Hello to all,

I am attempting to build my first computer from scratch, and would love some advice please. I've read some guides and watched some videos that I am pretty confident when the assembly step arrives, but need help on what to buy / what is compatible.
These are all on newegg.

A video card will be purchased separately, leaning towards a radeon 4850.
My guess is that I'll need another fan, and a suggestion for one would be awesome.

Am I missing any components? Do I need to buy any sort of thermal compound?

Thank you all for reading,
Mr Freckle

All looks good to me except the PSU - apevia is on the avoid list.

Looks good.... you dont want to go took cheap with a PSU... i did and i blew up about a year after i got it... just read and make sure you put things in right... and souble check before you turn the pc on for the first time. Also look up some air flow guiles forr case fans... usually want air moving from the front to the back...
