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

-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!
