Well, come this summer I'm gonna get a jb and I wanna build a computer at that time. I've never done it before so I need some help with parts. I have a few already chosen and need some suggestions with others. I'm not even sure if they are all compatable. How can you tell anway? Anyway, here are the parts.

EDIT:Sorry, hit the send button by mistake

Harddrive:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16822144338

Processor:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819103535

DVD burner: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106014

CD burner: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16827106997

Graphics Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130220

I'm not so sure about the graphics card. I think it should be fine for games like F.E.A.R, HL2, Doom3 and all that right? I would also like 2 GB of memory and am not sure which stick I should go for. And the motherbard, I dont know what to look for in a mother board. Also, any suggestions in a cooling system? I might overclock. What would be a good Powersource?
 
Yeah everything is set. You can go for any set of memory you want, always a good idea to make sure its supported by your motherboard (which I don't see!), if you're overclocking you should invest in sme better memory, i Believe G.skill is the popular brand around here. I prefer OCZ myself.
 
Thats a PCI express mobo? Alright, I'll probably get a 6800 vid card. About how much should I pay for a good powersource?
 
If your not building it within the next 15 days don't even attempt to spec out the parts. By the time you're ready to build your parts will be low end.
 
i would say an antec truepower II, i think thats around 89 dollars or something like that.. 550 watt should do ya more than find and leave you available to go sli if you ever consider getting a 2nd graphics card
 
Well I'm mainly doing this to get an idea of what I want and how much it'd cost. By the time I build it I probably will select different parts but from this I get an idea of what I want. I was thinking about getting a Zalman fan. About how many fans would I need?
