newbie at building a pc...help?

[dale5605]

A lot of kids at my school do Co-op (getting credit for doing actual work and getting paid). So they work like 5-6 hours a day or whatever and make quite a lot of money. Of course they don't spend much time on homework though.

You have the wrong 6600 gt for that motherboard. Your graphics card needs to be PCI-Express, not AGP. Though I still recommend you get the x800 xl.
Other than that everything looks good and spiffy. Should be a shweet system.

 

[aspire]

i want that system give me


*drool*

 

[c4sTr0]

alrighty,
but is there something similar to the 6600 gt for my mobo?

 

[c4sTr0]

yea itll be my first time building.
will it be hard?
any suggestions?

 

[aspire]

plug it where it fits
touch case before any components
dont wear socks
find a help guide
use thermal paste
configure master slave stuff
and thats about all there is to it
