Sorry about that Ive never tried to do the list thing before Thanks for fixing bonehead!

no problem, and im still learning about computers and stuff, first wtf is with that monitor? 1680 x 1050 is some whack resolution like i never seen that before, for not much more money you could get a Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge CPU which i think is better, also it wouldnt be a huge cost to get maybe 8 gb ram and maybe try to get 1866, and also a beter faster harddrive would be good, maybe an SSD too if you have the money, also bluray drives arent that much and from what i have seen they play dvds aswell, and everything else im not exactly sure on, but do you need a OS too or do you have one already

corsair/seasonic/silverstone/pc p&c/antec/xf are the brands to get for psu's, the corsair cx600 should be fine for you, prob something similar in combo with the case or a gpu or something, and always check all the combos.

The Antec 900 has a poor cable management. I would go for something like this -

He wants a case with the lights on it. I really dig that armor a90 case that thing is pretty sweet! Daisy do you have that list saved on newegg that you can send me.

as far as i know they are about equal other than one taking up room in the case but a little less on the outside, i mean a usb 2.0 slot can go up to 480mb/s so it is way faster than you will ever get your internet

Yes but 1600MHz 6-8-6-24 is just about equal to 1866MHz 9-10-9-27. So there's no real benefit. The sweet spot is 1600MHz with the lowest timings you can find.
