Hello to all,
I am attempting to build my first computer from scratch, and would love some advice please. I've read some guides and watched some videos that I am pretty confident when the assembly step arrives, but need help on what to buy / what is compatible.
These are all on newegg.

A video card will be purchased separately, leaning towards a radeon 4850.
My guess is that I'll need another fan, and a suggestion for one would be awesome.
Am I missing any components? Do I need to buy any sort of thermal compound?
Thank you all for reading,
