thanks guys i really appreciate it, and that build that fat.clown has and is that internal hard drive 1tb as in 1024gb? if so thats way more than more original build. and fat.clown if i bought that set up exactly (which i might ) will everything work in unison as in is everything compatible? again thanks a lot i know when i was setting up my build it took forever.... and i really appreciate the time you must have put in.

everything looks compatible to me.

1tb is equal to 1000gb. So double the original one. Like I said though I would recommend a better cpu cooler if you plan on overclocking.

 

[Fat.Clown]

1TB in marketing terms 1,000 GB
1TB in actual computer 931.32 GB

this link explains it very well.

WOW then im going to get that exact build, and im looking at good am3 heatsinks that will keep my temp at an avg level but i cant find any that are $20.00 but thats what i prefer on spending on a cooler. But if anyone has experience with a cooler that is great and not expensive please let me know. oh and i dont care about how loud it is i like to listen to music when im on the computer anyways. again, thanks a lot guys for the replys!

THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED I REALLY APPRECIATE IT!, i posted links so if anybody wants to use this build. the TOTAL SUM = $660
I know i said it would be $800 but thanks to everyones help i have been able to drastically reduce costs while keeping all the necesarry components! THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE WHO HELPED!

i see that you say you aren't using the power supply that comes with the case. but you do not have a power supply unit listed, and I really hope you are NOT using the one that comes with the case.

case in point (no pun intended)

BOOM!
$660 hard earned dollars up in smokes.

Newegg has a pretty nice power supply up for sale today as a shell shocker deal. It's 700w and only $50. I would definitely take a look at it but keep in mind that the deal is only good for today.

im waiting for my next paycheck to buy the case, some thermal paste, and an operating system from amazon. also i have question, is there a way i could use the stock fan/heatsink from the processor and the cpu cooler? thanks again guys!

Just looked at the cpu cooler that you picked out and I noticed that is is only for a motherboard with a Socket A. Your motherboard has an AM3 cpu socket so it is unfortunately incompatible. There is no reason why the stock heatsink and fan won't work, but if you plan on overclocking I would highly recommend getting a better quality cooler to prevent your cpu from overheating.
