New Build - Component Check
This will be my first build, so take it easy on me for the component selection. I've been trying to read through several build threads to start with a solid foundation but would like any and all input. I'm not married to any of these components. I don't really have a set budget for this build, but am looking to stay under $1500 for the computer itself, not counting monitors, speakers, keyboard, mouse, etc.
In addtion to learning how to build a PC, my goal with this build is to put together a reliable computer that I can use for the next several years that will be easily upgradeable. I'm not heavily into gaming, but would like this computer to take anything I can throw at it. I would like to run dual monitors on this setup as well. I will probably run Windows Vista as opposed to trying to upgrade the OS later. I haven't decided on the monitors, keyboard, etc yet. Well your input and thoughts are appreciated, here is my first crack at the components. Let me know if I am missing anything.
