With all the great pc games that are coming out I want a pc that can play them at the highest settings. Right now I just have a laptop but it's not exactly one that can play games and it's starting to slow down on me. So I figured this is the perfect time to build a gaming pc. Since I have never built a computer before, I have come here for help and suggestions. So far I picked these parts from newegg.com:

I only glanced but change your optical drive to S-ATA instead of IDE.

Oh, and as for the sound card, I think the motherboard has one included. But if you think I should buy a seperate one, then I'll get it.

Get a better powersupply, Rosewill's are generally regarded as budget units. With that price you can pick up a much better brand PSU. Check out ceewi's PSU list.

maybe this one
