The 2 things I dont have are: The thermal compound and the OS.....Should I buy Windows7 from newegg or is there a better place??

Am I missing anything?? Is everything compatible? Before it all goes together, would you change anything??

I guess I am now ready to build...


What do you think??/
 
hmm, yeah. get some thermal compound and start building :)
if you already have everything, no point in changing stuff now, but it looks like all will work.

you should have bought an oem os when you were buying parts, if you buy retail you will pay more. if you're a student, some schools sell the os for cheaper, you might want to try that.

Try your school. I got my Windows 7 for free since I am a computer major, and I heard other student get it for a really good price also.
