Thought I'd drop back in and say that I did it. Was pretty simple to put all together, actually I found it so easy that I thought that I just had to have done something wrong but I didn't. Works like a charm and am really happy with it! Thanks for everyone's help and advice :)

So this could be completely wrong as I am just starting to learn all this stuff, so feel free to correct me :P But the 560ti would only 'just' scrape the barrel for games such as B3?

Right, what she needs to do is to go to her account settings, which can be found in the top left hand corner with the little arrow. Then on the right hand side menu go to 'apps' . All her applications should then be viewable with the choice to edit or remove them. Find the offending one and...

Hacked in what sense? Could it be that she has opened an application that has then sent a wave of spam to her wall and her friends wall?

Managed to pick up the WD today locally for $175, so I'm happy with that. As for the older or newer looks of BIOS, well its all foreign to me so either is going to be a learning step anyway and probably produce its own barrage of questions once I get the actual machine put together. Also...

Haha, no worries, can I quote that to him? :P I'm happy with the list as is. I'll see what prices he can do for me on some of the parts and get the rest online.

Yes, well that's the thing I guess, being the first time I have ever looked into anything like this I don't have a favourite so am relying on others and what they recommend. I have had a look at a few professional reviews and general user reviews and ASUS does seem like the way to go. I'll wait...

Ah yes, that case seems like a go-er, Thankyou :). With the hdd, even though I would save $80 am I losing anything with cheaper Samsung? I went into a local store to see what there prices where in relation to all the parts, the salesman there said that it would be better to say go with a Giga...

Ok, thanks for that, its all becoming as clear as mud for me here. Ha, no really, all the information has been great thank you, its just so much to take in all in a few days. So rounding up before I hit the purchase button... Here's my list. Intel Core i5 2500K Quad Core CPU (3.30GHz -...

So when picking the RAM, what does the CAS Latency mean? Looking (here) I'd be right thinking a 500w or so PSU at the minute? Now I just need to pick out a case and all set to go. What do I look for in regards to cases? Anything in specific that I should look for? PSU (here) Case Ideas...

I have given myself a ball park figure of around $1000. If I had done a little research before hand I could of had it at up around $2500 before buying my current desktop, but ah well hindsight is a marvellous thing isn't it. I'll give myself a little leeway to go over that if really...

Thank you for clarifying all off that, much appreciated. Will go with the first one. So how is the rest looking with that mobo? And whilst I'm spending money, should I get any cooling parts?

Thanks for that. What about these three? (here) (here) (here) If none of those are good picks then I may need a point in the right direction of 'what' mobo, at present I am back and forth between google and books to figure out what all the numbers and letters mean in their specs which is a...

Updated the first post with links. No not American, Australian here. I'll find out what PSU is in the case that I found. So I'd be right with 500W if it was a good brand/quaility? If it's not I'll see if I can get it changed. Had a look and from what I can see the i52500 K is only a few extra...

So what size PSU should I be looking at? I don't think that I personally would need to overclock the CPU, I say this thinking that in the broad scheme over-clocking will raise these numbers '3.30GHz - 3.70GHz' (for example anyway) and to be honest, I doubt I will play a game that even comes...
