Here it is, finally. After much toil and TONS of learning, I am rather pleased with what I've put together here. My biggest concern is that, in my minimal pc knowledge, i may have added some items to my list that don't even work with the motherboard/case/videocard. so, if you have the time, it would save me much time serfing the web and looking up specs (even that is what i've been doing for the last few days). I'd just hate to get the pc and find that parts don't fit, work together as awhole, or just are crappy altogether.

Here are my specs:

-Case-
COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UB Black /Blue Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Link to item http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811119047

-Motherboard-
MSI K9N Neo-F Socket AM2 NVIDIA nForce 550 MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

link http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813130050

-Videocard-
SAPPHIRE 100199L Radeon X1950GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card

link http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814102034

-PSU-
Rosewill RP500-2 ATX 2.01 500W Power Supply 115/230 V CSA, CB, TUV, FCC, UL

link http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817182016

-Memory-
Patriot eXtreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory

link http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820220144

-Hard Drive-

-Sound Card-
Creative Sound Blaster SB0570 Audigy SE 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card

link http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16829102002

-Speakers-
Logitech X-230 32 Watts 2.1 Black Speakers

So there it is for the most part. I'll probably be getting a monitor later as well with a keyboard/mouse. As you can see, it is all from newegg.com, which seems to be the best I've found sofar. Anyways, check it out if you have the time. Again, this is my 1st PC ever, so ANY help would be appreciated to the max. Thanks again! :)

Looks pretty good. Only 2 comments really:

-Get the Coolermaster 534 instead....better internal layout and cooling, and it's the same price.

-That PSU is crap. Get something better. Seriously. Eat a couple less pizzas next month and spend that $40 on a better PSU. If you get garbage, it can take your system with it when (not if) it goes down. Get an FSP or Hiper.....both are affordable and are better quality.
