Well i'm going to build a new computer here over the summer probably so i've started to find parts for it now. Here is what I have so far, does it look good?
Hmm for some reason it goes to the cpu even though its a different link, weird.
I've always liked intel myself, they seen faster somehow (probably just in my mind lol). _________________________________________________________

i wonder if i should re buy the extended warranty from dell ( hopefully once i request for a system tower basicly if im lucky enough this tower would cost me $400 or so dollars) as that is what the warranty cost

Looks like a nice system dartht33bagger. What are you gonna be using it for? Games or general pirating activity lol. Only joking.
I've always had amd myself, doubt i would notice the diference. But now i have my 360 i don't use my pc for games, just browsing the net and watching dutch movies
I'm sure it does, but make sure the motherboard can use the SATA drive at 300.
xboxhq4life, dunno what your experience/knowledge is but building one can be better than buying a complete system. You can choose the parts that you like but it can take some time to choose all the individual parts and you need to make sure that they are all compatable. I have spent a couple of weeks just getting 1 part for my comp, reading reviews and searching forums. But i always get the best that i can afford, not the best out there coz by next month it will be £50 cheaper anyway, but it's all about preference.
There is so much to know about each component, timings, search times, north bridge, south bridge, fsb. I dunno what all these things mean though so don't ask me.
If you don't have much experience, get a complete system, they aint that bad and building your own usually will end up costing more as you tend to get better parts (but not that thats a bad thing).
That's just my thoughts, there are people on here that will have 1000 times more knowledge than me, all i would say is like darthbagger, don't rush to get something, do your research first.
