Hello Everyone this is my first computer build and I need to make sure that I have everything that I need and to also make sure everything is compatible.
I already have a keyboard, monitor, and mouse so will not need those.

Ok, all I think I have left is a power supply and I have no idea which one or how many watts I will need. I assume it should be at least 600W or more. I need some help with a power supply so suggest a few and I will take a look.:D
 
Raidmax makes nice cases too, for a cheaper price. And yes, around 600W for that machine, but I would get a 700W for plenty of upgrade room in the future. Good brands are Corsair, Thermaltake, Cooler Master, OCz, Silverstone, Antec. HEC's and raidmax are O.K. Avoid anything from Apevia, sunbeam, rosewill, and the such.
 
Thanks for the responses. I already have the HDD and the Apevia Case so it looks like im stuck with it for now but in the future I will remember to go with a better designed case. Hopefull, this one wont give me too much hell and I'll be able to keep it for a little while anyways. Also, thanks for the input on PSU, I was thinking about getting a Rosewill but now I will stay away and go with one that you have suggested. Thanks a lot:D:D
