Please help me finish
A friend of my brothers needed some money. He had some brand new computer parts he had purchased a while ago before deploying to Iraq. I bought them from him for $200.00.
I am new to computer building and would like help finishing this computer out. Here is the list of brand new parts I bought from him. Gigabyte GA55SLI-S4 MB with AMD Processor Seasonic M12 Powr supply Coolmaster Centurion Case EVGA 7600 GT Vid Card Turtle Beach Montego Sound Card. What would you recommend to finish it up? This will be used for both a home office/gaming computer. Thanks so much, John |

You need: ram (check the motherboard manual for the type needed)
Hard drive-Western Digital DVD drive OS (XP Home-OEM) That 7600 video card won't be able to do much gaming with the latest games.

John, That is an excellent high quality power supply and more than sufficient for this system. The motherboard takes DDR2 800 memory, here is the link to recommended memory http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/FileList/..._m57sli-s4.pdf
are you planning on playing newer intense games? That card is ok but won't be able to handle some of the 3D games very well.
