Hello,

This is my first time attempting to build a new computer. I love computers and gaming but have always had a very old model. I decided to make my own computer because most people recommend it as a learning experience and to save money. I dont have much money so i will probably be saving for a while before i actually buy all the parts.
I googled how to build your own computer and found a blog on www.howtogeek.com. I tried to use this format to pick the right pieces, but once again i have no idea about most things based on computer hardware. So if you can help at all please do. I will be willing to change anything in this list. Before you look at it please be aware that i didn't chose a case (with a power supply), hard drive, Cd/DVD drive. Please also be aware that i am on a very limited money frame but want a computer with good graphics that can run Games, Have vista and can be upgraded in the future. I also already have a keyboard, monitor, and speakers.

The pentium 4 is vastly outdated.....and Mhz means nothing when comparing two different technologies. Go with something like this:

Mobo:

CPU:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116074

For video... the 9600gso is not the old 9600gso, now its a 9600gt cut down to 48 shaders, and kept the same name(misleading). Go for something like this:(doesnt include any games... but will run games alot better than a 9600gso revision 2)

For power supplies, dont skimp, go with at least this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341020
or
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703017

This memory is same memory, just is black instead of green and a little bit cheaper:

Hmm sees good exept the reviews say that you have to buy something else for the hard drive to install it?

Not sure what your saying, as it is an oem drive so it comes drive only, so they may be taking about the sata cable.But your motherboard will come with at least 2 sata cables to hook up drives;)
