Dear Everybody, I am a new user on this forum. I really enjoy reading your forum messages here. I rarely use the forums, I do not know why. As a starter I am looking forward to buy a computer off from Newegg.com. I have not built a computer for long time. It will be a good experience for me to get my hands on building a new computer again. I need your help to decide how I am planning to build this computer. If you know a better product, please let me know. I am trying to build an important computer.
I apologize that I am not allowed to post links; these can be found at Neweggs website by searching them up.
Here is a list below; the text highlighted in red shows what I have chosen.

Finally,
My Price to Buy.
Case $110

CD-Rom $120 + $20 Extra CD-Rom?
Memory $450($ 225 + $ 225)
Case Fan $20 (10x 2$)
CPU Fan $60 (I wonder if it will fit in my case)
Total: $2025 + Shipping = $2050 approximately. What do you think? I would like anything better and faster and most importantly, reliability and longevity.
What I see here is the processor includes a Heat sink and a Fan in the package. I think I might omit buying the CPU fan and choose case fans instead. I should use the Intel fan that came with the processor. I believe I should bother about getting a water cooling system and memory cooling, hard drive cooling as an upgrade to treat myself for remaining virgin this long! You can’t blame me for my passion on Computers.
