This is my first build so I could really use some help determining if I made good/compatible/logical choices below! And I intend on running Vista 64-bit (although I've never used 64-bit yet).
*** After reading some other posts just before posting this, I get the impression that I might need a better power supply, and am missing the sound card and ethernet card. And what about heat sink / thermal paste and all that jazz?
Any advice whatsoever is welcome!
