Thanks for all the help you guys, I'll post here when I need to know how to Install an OS on it. Now you guys are suggesting Intel chips but from the building a computer 101 thread it says AMD are better for gaming than Intel chips. Also OS wise, XP or Vista?

....Yeah, and then nothing else.

No, stick with intel for the time being. That threads out of date I guess.

Yeah I don't have to worry about buying RAM in Beijing it's dirt cheap for 4GB of RAM. Now for the motherboard they suggested should I get a certain size case for it?

alright I'll get a nice tower case in the compter district here. I'll probably give it a nice black paint job because they're very bland colours here like beige and grey which I just can't stand. Also when I finish building my comp, do I just put the Vista installation disc and it'll just start installing? Because I've read somewhere that you need XP on the computer before you install Vista

nah you just need to stick in the dvd, enter the bios of the new computer, and set the boot priority to your dvd drive. simple as that.
