not getting all the parts from that site really, got some lying around already or scab them off friends, but i thought for the purpose of this i should find em all in one place. any suggestions? better parts? parts that are not going to work well together? please help i am in your hands hehe.

this pc will mostly be used for a mixture of work, music, movies, and reasonable quality games (nothing ultra fancy tho).

Didn't look at the links but, on the face of it, that sounds like a very nice system. I hope you're going to get some good speakers to make the most of that sound card

If it were me, I'd also buy a 2nd CD-ROM drive (just a cheap plain 52-speed reader) so that you can easily make backup copies of CDs if you want to.

512Mb RAM will be OK for managing pretty much anything but, for optimum performance, you might want to consider getting a bit more if your budget allows it.

Love the system case!

hey thanks thats really useful. i was kinda wondering if that mem would be enough. second cd-rom sounds like a good idea too. hehe yea speakers no prob got some nice 7.1 surround. awsome.

Nice
