Get a motherboard, processor and a nice hard drive with some nice ram. A good graphic card can also help along with a dvd player. I built by current pc and it is good way faster than other ones. The negative thing is though that it makes a lot of sound. 3 times than a regular pc but i really love it and it is great. Good luck with your try anyways.

Stay away from cases that include the power supply, some are alright, but often the quality of the power supply is much lower. If you want your computer to run smoothly I'd recommend a case without a power supply and buy one seperately. Atleast 500w these days. And more if you have SLI or high end processor and video cards. If you are interested in purchasing a custom built computer definately check us out: www.plugcomputers.com We will completely customize a computer for you based on exactly what you are looking for. You describe your needs and we'll fit a system to your price range and computer uses. May not be a bad idea if you are hesitant as to what parts are compatiable or are unsure of anything.

Secondly, it would be better to get more ram than just 1 gig if you ever plan on using Vista. I have 1 gig of ram and it runs fine but even when idol i use half of it. My advice would be to get 2 gig worth so you will be fine.

Definately agree with fffanatics, especially if you're planning on running Vista. All those pretty designs and effects in Vista influence your computer somehow, better make sure you have enough RAM to run it. 2Gigs minimum I'd say, if you're willing to spring for it I'd even say 4Gigs. With 4Gigs you would be set for awhile.

Is It The Power Supply?
Help! I broke my computer while buildin it. (21) Okay, this is the second time building a computer on my own. The motherboard had a 24-pin socket but
I didn't notice that the power supply had a 20-pin connector with an extra 4-pin to go with the
20-pin one. So what I did without knowing the proper connection, I connected the 20-pin to the
240pin socket on the motherboard and the extra 4-pin to the 4-pin socket across from the
motherboard. The correct 4-pin was left hanging and wasn't used. So after all these things were
done and I connected the power cable to the PSU and switched it on, I heard some popping so....
