I also disagree with everything you recommended, besides the E8400 cpu. Why you would get Vista 32-bit is beyond me. That mobo is a wifi-capable one, why you would suggest that also has me confused. He wants price/performance, not overpriced random crap.

I really have been wanting to run crysis on my pc and have been buying the parts based on the Crytek 900$ pc that can apparently run crysis. If you have a suggestion about a better mobo then i would love to hear it, and thanks telling about that cpu IxBLACKHEARTxI

I second Steelshivan's suggestion for the GA-P35-DS3L. It's more than you need, really, and a very popular choice because it's reliable, stable and priced fairly.

Also, I was looking for fans online but i couldn't find the information i needed to find out how to pick a good one that would fit my PC. Should i be concerned about what kind of and fan i have?

One more thing, should i buy a sound card? I'm planning on buying the Logitech Z-2300 200 watts RMS 2.1 Speaker System

Most people can't tell the difference between integrated sound and a sound card, and your integrated sound will support those speakers. Unless you're a real audiophile and your music is in .wav or other lossless format, integrated is fine.

As for your fans, it depends what you're looking for. I'm sure CoolerMaster's fans work fine, but you might want to switch them out if you'd like especially powerful or quiet fans. It's a commodity, really.

Apparently on the Crytek computer configuration they say you require a midi case, and i couldnt find a midi case when i typed "midi case" or "midi tower" into the Newegg search.
Is my PC case compatible or do i need a MIDI case?
Also, how do i know which case will work with my Mobo?

You want an ATX mid tower. "midi" is just something people write instead of "mid" when they are suffering from a mild case of stupidity.
