Ok so this is my first attempt at a build and I really don't know much about computers. I do plan on upgrading my video card and old hard drives down the road. This is for media and maybe gaming but i'm mostly a console gamer but I'm considering making the switch. It is for a living room media hub and entertainment on a 47' lcd. I'm not even sure how to put this all together or how to install the os but I'm excited to learn. I do plan on overclocking but that isn't for a bit. Are all of my parts compatible for my old computer to my new one? Any advice would be great. I'm leaving for the computer store in an hour or two. Is there anything else I should pick up? I appreciate all help and I apologize but I don't know all of the pc lingo yet so please answer as simple as you can. Thanks so much!
