video card- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16815100120

BTW- my main questions are on the processor and mobo... wether they are too cheap.... any advice will help. please tell me wether this is just a waste of money or its what im looking for... thanks guys and any help will be appreciated. thanks!
 
ok they work now...

if ur gonan be surfing the web, save bucks and get a mobo with onboard video.

are u gonna be downloading stuff? cuz then that hd is good for u.

u could also go for SATA, since it's faster, but I'm to lazy to check if the mobo's compatible (hope that's not a stupid comment). THere's also cheaper, larger SATA hds.

As for the case, It's pretty cool! But there's probably better...

once u cut all that out, you could probably get a bigger harddrive, a better case, or a better processor. Good luck!
 
thanks for the advice.... ill look for a new case... and also a hdd... on the processor... is the 1 i chose bad or something? like i said. everything is just basic here... and yes i will prolly store some music and what not on here...


EDIT: guess we posted at the same time haha... so your saying that processor wont work with that mobo.... is there anyway some1 could put together a good processor and mobo for around that same price range? thanks alot in advance.
 
We posted at about the same time so I just wanted to pot this again to make sure Woofis saw it
I noticed that you chose a Socket 754, but that motherboard is a Socket A 462.
 
no, it's not bad... it's just ok. It wouldn't be my first pic for a change.

edit: meant idea. Was thinking of something on tv lol.
 
lol i edited and u posted at the same time again! lol yea i saw it though. thanks again!

EDIT: dammit i gotta stop posting... everytime i post u guys post again lol... but wut do u mean by its not your first pic?
