First Build...

I decided to go with this board: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131330

Should I buy a fan for my PSU or use the one from the eMachine? I'm NOT going to be OCing it if that makes a difference. I also have a fan from an older Compaq if that one would be any better. Thanks!

EDIT: This is my fan: http://store.globuscomputer.com/amda7heandfa.html

The cooler fan is some brand like AVC... should I pay the extra five bucks to get a new one? I'd hate to have my PSU overheat and that may of been what happened to the eMachine.
 
Well, the CPU you're gonna buy is Retail and thus comes with a HSF included. Since you're not going to overclock, you don't need an aftermarket cooler.
 
Yeah, you could get a 8800GT which according to ceewi's list, needs a 400W PSU. If you want more of a mid-range, the 8600GT needs even less power.

Awesome! The 8800GT is the best I'll be needing, maybe even wanting any time soon. :) I'll be ordering tonight.
