[shortymet55]

do you have a monitor?

 

[dougland]

I guess if you can't build one something like a cyber power is good.

 

[stevei48]

do you see any issues with these items working together and what else will i need more cooling or better power supply?

 

[dougland]

Yeah definately is possible build your own.

Sigh... To the trained eye, the OP appears to have already explained:

got my tax check and want a new computer and don't have the time or no how to build one.

Offer assistance or don't Post.

To the OP, the components you listed look good (barring an Operating System - you know you didn't list one?), but don't be pressured into building your own by people like dougland, especially if you don't feel comfortable or have the time to troubleshoot any un-foreseen issues that may arise. Keep in mind that the pre-built system you listed from Tiger does NOT have a monitor, as shorty pointed out. If you are looking for a name-brand pre-built, you will probably be able to find a complete set (monitor included) for the same price (or even a bit less after shipping from TD is calculated) at best Buy, Circuit City, or even Staples.

^ i can still voice my opinion. now he's open to the idea what do you know

 

[stevei48]

I might be being a little hard on myself saying i don't know what i'm doing. i have changed power supplys,ram and video cards and do electrial trouble shooting on cars for a living yes i know there is no OS. there is a local microsoft lic. bussiness that will sell to the public windows xp home sp2 for $75 with full tech support from him thanks i might try to put one together and hope if i have problems guys on here can steer me in the right direction thanks again steve

Unless you plan on running SLI get a AM2+ board instead of a AM2. Better upgradibility later down the road.
