Ok after my epic fail with the HP. I took your guys advice and this is the cart I built. Now I have no money left on my debit card and I will be pretty much broke after this build. So I cant get a graphics card right now but maybe in the near future. Let me know what you think am i missing something. I have nothing here to put with it so do I need cables or wires, special tools? Please help me thanks alot

EDIT: I HAVE A GTX 560 TI GRAPHICS CARD (Will the power supply I picked work?)

Now like I said above I think this is everything and I THINK that all my parts are compatible and when its all over I am hping to have a pretty good gaming RIG
 
You are wasting the i5-2550k's potential by getting an H61 board. Drop the CPU to the i3-2120 and the mobo up to the h67 chipset.
 
Would not recommend a Biostar board for a gaming rig, go for an ASUS P8H61 if you want an H61-based board, but I'd go with what azeem said and spend more on your board if you can, something like this MSI board would be a decent choice. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130616

Any particular reason why you are going for a 2550K? Save some money and go for the 2500K instead, or save even more by going for an i3 2120. Don't under-estimate the little i3 2120, it's actually a cracking gaming chip, and it has two hyper-threaded threads so whilst it is a dual-core, it's actually got 4 threads. Great chip. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115077 of course the 2500K is also a beast too. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072&Tpk=2500k

Your power supply probably isn't good enough, I'd get rid of that Rosewill unit (they're kind of a generic brand) and go for a Corsair CX600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028 that should be enough to power an i3 and a 560 Ti.

Everything else looks fine to me.

I went with the 2550k because it was the same price as the 2500k and it came with the extra $30 warranty for free. Its to late now to change boards. Alot of the stuff i bought had coupon codes that expired yesterday. So I had to order before all the prices went up... I will be ok for a few months with this Biostar board right? I can get another one when I get some more cash. Shit $700 was hard enough to come up with.
 
Yeah the Biostar will work OK for you, they're not a bad brand, just not one I'd really recommend for a high-end system.
