    Get rid of the CPU cooler and Hard drive cooler. They are both not needed. Besides, the CPU cooler you listed is an AMD cooler and the processor is Intel. You will get a cooler included with the CPU.

    Also, I would recommend you order all the parts from the same website in order to keep delivery costs to a minumum. It would also help if something were to go wrong with the items.

    A crap system overall, and your processor is Intel, but your mobo is AMD plus processor cooling is for an AMD? Also the case comes with fans?

    You seriously have no idea, so just step away from the computer building!

    I don't think it will work. I had a look at a few of the things and you have a intel cpu, but the mb will only support amd cpu.

    So that's it huh? Because he's never done this before means he's not allowed to? I'm sure that once you had no idea what goes with what - somebody must have told you all the details, you weren't born with them.

    Look, I'm not a computer jargon and I'm pretty new to building one. I don't know what is what so I made a thread on here for some help, there is no need for your cocky and arrogant reply, daddy doesn't spoil me unlike you - I earn my money the hard way.

    Just to point out guys, this will be a standard PC, not going to be used for gaming (GunZ maybe).

    Well the chances are your motherboard will have onboard sound, so you don't need a sound card unless you're an audiophile (somebody who loves the best sound quality). Graphics card - maybe. If you want to play Gunz, i'd recommend a 8500GT or even a 8600GT if you are able to afford it.

    Also www.ebuyer.com - You can buy all your bits in one place, therefore saving sometimes on discounts, plus delievery all at the same time.
