probably didn't paste the links right, but you can still find them by pasting the link in your browser.

Any suggestions would be helpful and if I left out any components let me know, first time build. Thank you.

Please jut put a space between the hyphen and the start of each link, they will then work fine. Also dont link to the images, they dont tell me a damn thing about the products. You also do not want your primary hard drive to be an external, they are very slow relative to their internal counter parts. I also suggest not a biostar board, get a full sized ATX board from gigabyte or asus and only get a GTX275 for now, it is way cheaper than the GTX295 and will play most things on high at 1920x1200.

Ok sorry for the cluster of links, I think I'm gonna go with the build you suggested i7. I asked a few questions on the other thred about colored fans and an acrylic case to fit all this in. Thank you soooo much for your patience and advice.
