This is my very first time looking into building a new computer. I would appreciate if you can tell me if all the parts will function together properly and if I'm missing or don't need something. also if you could find something cheaper that is just as good or better that would help.:D If i can save up enough money i will purchase it as soon I can and post pictures and how it worked out.

First off, welcome to CF! Be sure to say hi in the Official Welcome Thread and also be sure to review the Forum Rules.

You might want to get this motherboard instead; it's excellent for OC'ing. You also might want to get this RAM instead; Corsair is a very well known and trusted brand for memory (and other things).

Other than that, looks good. A 7600GT should do fine for moderate gaming, but if you're a heavy gamer, you may want to consider something a bit higher-end.
 
thank for the help. i edited them into the post. I'm not a serious gamer but i do play some once in a while. but I'm really into editing videos and making my website better.

you can cut back on RAM and GPU to make up for the screen. i am insanely happy with my performance though, and i got a 25% stable OC too. most of these prices have changed

The E4300 are the low end C2D's...if you can wait a couple of months, on April 22, Intel will be refreshing the C2D lineup, including adding the E6320, which is almost exactly the same as the E6300, except it will have 4mb L2 Cache. The E6300 price will be cut by about $20, and the E6320 will cost exactly the same as the E6300, they'll both cost about $160.

i can definitely wait till then. i don't have much money now so i can't get it soon anyway. and the E6300 is around my price range.
