No idea what im doing

I really appreciate that you took time to find things off new egg for me but when you put down numbers and abbreviations of stuff i have no idea what you are saying.

......you couldn't have just put cpu, gpu, ram, hdd???? I know what each of those are but for someone who isn't very computer literate this doesn't help at all without clicking on each link

Hmmm lol. Well, you could have just anwswered the TS's(thread starter's)questions. And I doubt there's going to be a purchase without a look anyways.

Anywho, staying on topic:
TS- (that's you Ehond)
The ASrock is the motherboard. The processor(cpu or central proccessing unit(the 640)), RAM(memory - 1600 speed), 5770 is the model of the gpu(graphic proccessing unit), HDD(hard drive or hard disk), the cd/dvd burner-player(24x is the speed), some fans, and the ps(power supply),,all mount to or are connected by small cables to-the motherboard. The motherboard comes with 2 data cables for the hdd and the cd/dvd.<--Those 2 data cables are enough for that.
The power supply has cables that fit the mb and some that connect to the other components, hdd, and cd/dvd (optical drive it's called), the 5770 gpu, and some fans.
The case has wires and small cables with connectors on the ends that go to the mb.
The mb will be labeled where the connectors go. All the cables & wires are shaped to fit in one place/one way, so it's easy. There's just a couple exceptions and those are easy to figure out because of the labels,, and this forum will help with everything.

Hope that helps.

What do you think of the $525ish after rebates amount? Some people don't like to fool with rebates.
