Hello I am new to computer building. Did some watching reading on how on how to build computers putting it together doesn't look too hard. Though I still lack the knowledge knowing which parts go together. Can anyone fill me in? N I am looking to build something just to play games mxed out graphics on n watch blue ray. I was reading about sound cards...

You don't need a sound card.
We need a budget and the games you want to play.

Whatever fits your budget and size requirements. Make it an Asus, Samsung, or BenQ and you can't really go wrong. Oh, and make sure it's at least 1080p.
