so this is my first build as i am usually lazy and just buy a premade. i want to build this around an i5 2500k cpu. i was planning on using my4670 ati card from my last comp as a stop gap, as well as my 500 gig hitachi 7200 rpm hard drive.
first off my comp im using now is a p4 3.0 gig 1 core, with 1 gig ram so anything will be a SUBSTANTIAL upgrade. ive re-evaluated needs and a few parts.
possible items, id appreciate any feedback on quality, known bugs or problems, or compatability issues.
