First Post, First Build....
I found this site full of great information, and I am happy to be a part of this community.
This will be my first build, and after searching through different components I feel this might be what i'm going with. I'm a noob at this, as were all of you at some point. So bear with me hahaha I'm mainly going to be using this computer for graphic processing (a lot of photoshop) and gaming. Tell me what you all think  (I just copied and pasted from the wish list on Newegg.com) NEC 18X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write Black E-IDE / ATAPI Model 7170A-0B - OEM COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-WW Black/Silver Aluminum Bezel, SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Western Digital Caviar WD800BB 80GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100 Hard Drive - OEM BFG Tech BFGR7950512GTOCE GeForce 7950GT 512MB GDDR3 PCI Express x16 OC Video Card ASUS P5B Socket T (LGA 775) Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz LGA 775 Processor Model BX80557E6600 Microsoft Windows XP Home Sp2b 1pk w/Upgrade Coupon for Vista - OEM |

1. The NEC burner does not come with software.
2. What are you going to use for a power supply? 3. Do not use a 2mb cache IDE drive. You want a SATA drive, preferably with 16mb cache. 4. You need some ram. You aren't going to do a E6600 *and* a gaming quality video card for $1000. |

1. Is the Antec an ATX 2.0 with a 24 pin main connector?
2. What ram does your other computer have? |

This is the original poster's bro..
I'm pretty sure it's an ATX 2.0 with 24 pin I'm not sure what the RAM is, but I think it's the 512 MB DDR RAM? I think we're going to scrap this, and go with the recommended parts in Tudd's thread. By the way a few of those choices we had were deals, so they were a bit cheaper I'm sure you get a lot of people asking you what you would recomend for gaming and graphic work for about $1,000.00.....So I won't
