Don't laugh I am constantly fixing computers for other people but never had my own computer. The computers I did use where broken ones that I ended up having to fix after they where deemed garbage ;). I knew I could not afford a laptop of my dreams because the parts for laptops are extreme expensive. Please tell me what you guys think suggestions nothing is assembled just yet and parts are still coming in. I bought them in steps and increments. Please let me know if something does not work with each other or I made a big mistake I have been asking tons of questions everyday I believe I'm okay though.

My Case
Antec 900 (holy crap its $200 right now I am so glad I impulsively bought it for $95)

My CPU my pride and Joy
AMD FX-8350 ($200 Alot of people told me to get a $80 processor and I should get a bundle telling me I was wasting my money and it was to powerful however I think it was a good investment the price is still $200)

Nice build. What do you intend to use the computer for? Gaming, rendering, etc.?

Also, I would recommend a D-Link Network card instead. (It's a personal preference of mine)

The OS is not listed because I am going to get Windows 7 or Windows 8 from my school for like $15 lol I have windows 7 cd's laying around somewhere as well. If you guys can link me the newegg links that would be great as well. I was looking for a internal wifi card but I think I might be very cramped. But I am not sure.. Advise? I will be doing a lot of Gaming , programming , Movies and such this will be my primary PC. As it is the laptop that I am using now is shutting off for no apparent reason I suspect the fan crapped out and its over heating and turning off.

For wifi, I prefer a USB adapter, don't like antenna sticking out the back, often you have the PSU, monitor, speaker, etc power cables back there and can cause interferance of the wifi signal

I thought the Moba had a built on LAN network adapter so I was just getting the TPlink because it was cheap $15 with a very fast speed. I have had experiences with them in the past they are actually surprisingly Top Quality.
