I went with MadAdmirals original post because i bought my parts an hour before i read his updated one lol. I like what i saw, i showed it to two of my friends who built their own comps, "not as tech savvy as MadAdmiral" but they still know their stuff, and they really liked it as well. I plan on buying a decent mouse/speaker/keyboard next month, and then a new monitor the month after. Building my own comp to me is like stepping out of the stone age. I used to play on an old dell dimension from like 5years ago, it had 1.5gb of ram and i'd get 20fps in WoW if i was lucky. I have no idea what a decent or good comp plays like because i've never played on one. I originally was only going to spend 500$ but i'm glad i had the room to up it to 600$.
I was surprised to get a reply, never asked stuff like this in a forum. I read what everyone said, and i read reviews of every item linked. I just hope everything works when it gets here, waiting for the pieces to my comp to me is like waiting for Santa as a kid. Yeah i just said that, you'd agree with me had you played a POS for so long. I think my video card back then was an ati radeon from 6years ago.
I would've had room to upgrade upgrade upgrade if i read MadAdmirals later post, but i have no regret about it. If i can get 3years out of my comp i could do this again down the road, but by then i7 or who knows what will be dirt cheap. Like i said before, this was and IS my first time building a comp, and it'll be easier the second time, but that's getting ahead of myself.
I'm sure this is personal preference but what monitor would you recommend for my new frankenstein? I only ask because i'm not sure if they have compatibility issues etc. Compatibility was my biggest fear before deciding i was going to make the pc, i had no idea what went with what. My friend is giving me an adapter for my new monitor, so i can use that until i get a new one. I plan on getting another LCD but bigger and better, maybe 22-24inch.
Again, thanks MadAdmiral and anyone/everyone who help people like this on this forum or any forum. Maybe one day i'll be that knowledgeable about computer internals and i can do the same.
Edit: I haven't bought the graphics card yet, but i plan to in a week when i get paid. You stick by your guns MadAdmiral about that card you originally posted? Or would another suit my build better, don't want something too strong or too weak. I'll probably never touch Crossfire/SLI or OC my pc, maybe not even upgrade it, i don't know.
