Heyy guys, the people here at CF, have served me well in the past with all of their informaiton and the such, I haven't been on here for a while so its nice to be back (lol).
Anyways I will be building a new desktop withing the next few months, so I figured instead of me searching through threads and reviving old ones I would created a thread for all my questions, I haven't ever built a custom computer, but I do know my way around the inside of a computer, and I know a good deal about mobo's, RAM, CPU, GPU, all that jazz, anyways I am currently writting down a list of all the parts one needs to create a new desktop. Just for my sake I am writting everything down and the such. The list I have is as follows.
LIST OF PARTS
1. Case
2. Cooling system
3. Power Supply
4. Video Card (GPU)
5. Mobo
6. Processor
7. RAM
8. HD
9. Optical Drive
10. Operating System
11. Sound Card
12. Monitor
Anything else I need? I bet I missed a few things along the way. Right now I am just looking into getting a list of what I need to get the computer up and running, I will worry about case mods such ass neon lights and the such latter.
Now I have a few questions I would like to spend no more than 4000 bucks on this whole build, is that not enough money? I will be using the computer for gaming (duh).
So now onto my list of questions
1. Where can I get these parts cheap, for example any other places other than Newegg, tiger direct, and that other one...
2. Where is a good place to get the cases and the PSU and all the such. (second part of question 1 I guess)?
3. Thats it I guess.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Please recomend anything for the above listed parts, I am not really sure where to go, I know whats good and all and I know what I want to be able to do on it, its just a matter of getting them all bought!
thanks guys!

, 299 for the video card, 300 for the ram. I think you have the prices for the video card and power supply mixed up. The video card should be 1119.98 instead of 299. I just though I let you know.
