Alright. I have some parts that I'm looking at. Please remember that this is my first built PC and that I am NOT looking for some crazy gaming computer. Just one to experiment with parts, run the internet, check email, and be reliable for file storage etc... Some of the parts may seem excessive for just an internet/file storage/word document PC like 80GB HD and 512MB RAM, but this is because I do hope to frequently upgrade the PC but I just wanted to start small with the mobo/processor/vid card. Remember, I come from a PC with 500MHZ PIII processor, 8MB Vid card, and 8.2GB HD

I have a CD drive, mouse, and keyboard already so I won't need those (sound will be onboard). Could you let me know if all of these parts are compatible with eachother (my main concerns are mobo/processor/vid card as i know these aren't always compatible.) Also, will the SATAII Hard Drive be compatible with the mobo? And then also, is there anything else I need to buy or does that cover about everything (like are fans/cooling devices included? and if not, is it essential that i buy them?)
Also, the processor, HD, and floppy all say OEM; will i need to purchase anything seperately with these?
Thanks!
