I'm getting ready to buy the parts for my first computer, but i'm not sure everything is compatible. And if it will come with all of the cables i will need. I haven't heard about the monitor brand, If you have what do you think. I'm not planning on doing much gaming with it. And is it ok to get XP oem?
