11. memorex 52X cdrom also from my dad
i thinks that all i dont think im forgetting anything
 
If this helps any, I would rather have a case that isn't totally clear. I thought about it for a bit when I made my first build, but the problem is that it is really hard to make it look good when you don't have any place to hide wires.
 
If you need help with power supplies, ask Ceewi1. I know that the one chupacabra recommended is good, but I don't quite think it would support what you plan on running. I know it is a big jump, but if you can get a Corsair PSU, it would be great:

It is always good to not skimp on your power supply, for the sake of your other components.
 
ok i forgot to mention i wont deal with newegg cuz they dont accpt over the phone orders im only 16 and my grandparents wont let me use the card on the net plus i need to get at least 2 items from geeks with i thought was gonna be the case and psu but their selection aint good now i dont plan on running dual monitors any time soon that vid card was just recommended to me so if yuou guys could help me on a case and psu or a case and something on my list that can be bought from geeks id apreiecate it thank you
 
Hmm, that's a rough situation with you not being able to order from newegg.com. Have you tried Tigerdirect.com?
 
ugh thats a problem to idk if i mentioned before we were "card jacked" and one of the place our card was used was at tiger direct there for my grandparents wont let me order from there and they are payinf for this build not me so i have to be nice and not argue i deal with geeks xpcomputers or what ever that site is were a majarity of my stuff is comeing form and the play were i get my ram basicly any place that takes phone orders exceprt tiger direct and neww egg but like i said before i need to use my credits for geeks (143 dollers worth)

Hmm that psu is kinda too weak for the 8800gts, i'd rather go with something like this

Just out of curiosity, why aren't you using newegg for some parts and also why don't you pick a dvd burner anyway they're cheap and you'll need an operative system like vista or xp
