Lost in the sauce! Compatability....
Ok, as you all can see, Im a virgin of building computers... But I do want to learn how to do it..I did the classic mistake of buying the parts before I knew if they where compatable with each other. Here are the major parts, if someone could just say "ya or ne" on these, I would appreciate the help. Thanks...
CASE: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811147001 MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813130362 CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116213 MEMORY: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820145539 HARD DRIVE: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148065 DVD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827106008 VIDEO CARD: http://www.newegg.com/product/produc...82E16814142052 I was thinking of getting a new PSU too...I heard that the ones that come with the cases are pretty cheap. I have a ANTEC SMARTPOWER 400W in mind, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103935 Those are the major parts, I also have another heatsink for my CPU coming and another fan for my case. But any assistance in this would be GREATLY APPRECIATED... - lost in the sauce

Everything looks OK. Might want to check Corsair's configurator on that RAM...it should be OK, but that's an odd speed.
Yeah, you have the right idea on the power supply. Rosewills are probably the worst power supplies out there. You'll want something more powerful than 400W for a dual core Intel. Something like this would be better.

Thanks alot. I will look into the extra PSU, I was wondering about the RAM too...as I was looking through the instructions, I noticed that the numbers didnt match up. You think it'll be ok though?

Checked corsair's configurator, and I do see your RAM listed as compatible, so you should be good to go.

Just make sure you are familiar with the procedure, read over the manuals and take your time and you'll be fine.

yes, well..i think. its a ANTEC True Power 550W. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817103931 Now im running into a bit of trouble on my MOBO and CPU. I found out, well...I heard that they are not compatible . Some people are saying that I should go one step up and get the intel Pentium D 830 instead of the 820. Something with my MOBO doesnt allow the dual core to operate? You guys ever hear anything like this?

The website says it supports Pentium D, where did you hear it wasn't compatible?
