Ok ready to order
Ok have the final list for my first computer build any last minute ideas or opinions would be great. Is there a cheaper decent video card i could swap that one for since eventually I plan on upgrading to a much better one anyway. Just need one to last me a few months. Also is that cooling good enough for some light oc'ing? Thanks for all the help guys. This websites been a huge help for me already.

I would get a sata dvd drive.
If you plan on overclocking quite a bit, then get ddr2-1000 or ddr2-1066 ram. Not sure, but I know the 4650 is a nice cheap card.

Yeah thats what I was thinking. Should I stay with that antec case? I really dont care about lights and stuff. Just want enough room for upgrading and good cooling. Any cheap cases that fit that or is antec nine hundred the way to go?

One of my PC's is housed in the Antec 300. Very nice case. Same as the 900 with less fans.

Less fans, no blue lights, a bit smaller, and filters for the front.
And no window. |
