this will be my first home build...have a Dell now that i think is starting to crap out.
im not a gamer at all, this will be basically for surfing the net, looking at pictures/videos, burning the occasional cd/dvd, and general use. i dont play any games besides yahoo/aol games so no need for super giant mega video card or anything like that.
here is what i have so far:
good cheap, Rosewill Case and Power Supply:
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16811147041
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817182028
MOBO and CPU that im looking at...still havent decided on either yet so any suggestions for those would be great.

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16819116001
im not really set on Intel, its just what im used to so if anyone has any suggestions for AMD, im all ears.
im going to re-use my memory, video card, and all drives for now. will get more later on when i find what i want.
ETA: one other thing...when i look at newegg.com some things say OEM and Retail...what exactly is the difference?
