Those parts are for paracting on how to find the right parts, so I won't make a computer out of them (no money). Also, beware that since its the first time I researched computer parts, so its crappy, and thats why I need the help of TGforums to guide me the right way to having the best computer I can get.

I know I may be missing the burner, cd/dvd drive, and the soundcard, but that's not the point in this exercise.
The main reason is to see if I can improve on my quest to find the right combination of a decent computer. BTW, if your curious about the price, then post, and I'll edit my post on how much this costs.

I'd recommend an AMD Skt 939 DDR RAM setup due to the fact that its matured and alot more stable than anything Intel has. Took me 8 months of reasearch before I built and it pays to take your time. Read my post about AMD vs. Intel (SPARTAN-117 msg. 11).

If I was you I'd wait on Conroe, AM2's and DDR2 to mature before devoting money to them. :wink:
