Okay, so this would be my first computer I've ever built, and while I have confidence I can build it given the right parts, knowing what the right parts ARE is sort of beyond me at the moment.
The computer will be built for gaming (mostly online) and to a lesser extent the video editing of FRAPS I get from those games. Graphics are very important to me, as well as reliable fps.
Things I don't need: optical drive. Mouse. Keyboard. OS. Pretty cases. It just has to work.
Things I'm not sure of: does what I have actually give me the ability to receive Wifi/Internet connections? I never saw anything for it when muddling through the process. Sound set up? If i need to use a headset to get sound I'm cool with that, though I'd like to not rely on it. One of the biggest reasons I'm doing this is yes better graphics, but also cooling. My laptop is wonderful for what it is, but I find it getting way too hot when I run GW2 or something, even on lower graphics ranges. What do I need to NOT have this problem to the laptop extent?
Basically, I'm one confused girl looking for help. this might not even be the right section of the forum!

I had a bit of help from a friend who knows more about this than I do, but... Yeah. I still want outside help by those more knowledgeable than I (which isn't hard in this area, I suppose, but you get it)
