Are you building an entire PC? Or are you upgrading your current PC? Are you using some of your old parts?

What will you be using this PC For? What is your price range?

If your making a new build entirely from scratch, you will need the following parts:
~Case
~Processor
~Powersupply
~Motherboard
~Hard Drive
~RAM
~Optical Drive (CD/DVD Drive)
~Video Card
~Keyboard
~Mouse
~Monitor
~Speakers
~Operating System
[Pulled From Panama Red's "Want to know what parts to use for a new build?" Sticky]

Also, please search other posts and threads, and mainly the Stickies before posting this. You left out ALOT of parts for a new build.

I would also recommend using www.newegg.com for your parts. When you list your parts here, please list the links for those parts to the website. Thanks.

yeah sorry Chazell29
i forgot to mension that

my pc is a crap. its dimension 8200 now. with 1.7 ghz, pentium 4, tnt2 video card, 624 mb(rddr ram). my a6600 gt video card craped out so i lost it (and got my money back :D )
so i found out that my pc is old and i need to change my power supply if i need to buy a new video card and screw that (takes a lot of money since my power supply is different too)

so i said let me change my pc (buy mobo, video card, case, proc., power supply)
and made this list. now i wanna ask u guys that if the list is good to go or not.
btw i live in europe. but if i really need it i can order it from usa.
(i dont need stuff like, monitor, speakers,hd.......)

I don't think Newegg ships outside the US.

So you still didn't answer my question...are you using old parts, or are you buying all new parts? If your using old parts, please list what parts and the make/model. If your buying new parts, please post all the new parts you picked. Follow the list I posted above.

I have not built AMD but I understand that you really need to use 800 ram, not 667 with an AMD build for the best performance. Ram prices are cheep right now so that should not add much to your budget.

What is your total budget?

If you post a budget posters can try to build you up the best bang for the buck. From what you have listed so far it sounds like you need the entire box and will not be re-using any components from your current system except monitor, keyboard, and mouse. Is that correct?
