I'm really new at this and this will be my first build from the ground up. I have replaced things in the past like video cards, memory, hard drives, etc. but that's the extent of my experience. I've been reading this forum for some time now trying to learn and absorb some knowledge from all of you.
I already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers. I plan on running Windows XP.
This is my list of components I have picked out.
