ok, so I've decided that i shall build my next computer. This will be my first time ever building a computer and i just want to make sure all the parts i chose will be compatible. This computer will be extremely for gaming, and no, i dont plan to overclock.
EDIT: MADE CHANGES TO MOTHERBOARD AND RAM.
Parts:
1.Motherboard: DFI LANPARTY nF4 SLI-DR Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce4 SLI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retailhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813136151 (Went with this because i want to get the drivers and extra cables and such...hence the reason im going for retail, and the specs look almost exactly the same as the Ultra-D, but if you just must, life or death, insist that the Ultra-D is better, please state it. Also, if thats the case, im going to need a little help knowing which cables to buy to connect to the HD, DVD drive, etc.)
