TF1Akrata · 01-06-2008, 04:38 PM

hey, my names aj. i'm building my own computer. now, i like computers. i like 2 use them. but all i know how to do is use the software in it. i can't write software, i just use it. i can't build comps, i just use them. which brings me to my plea.

I have compiled a list of the stuff i want to put in my computer, but i have no way of telling if they are compatible. does anyone know how to check? can u post or email me?

and another thing, i know i need to buy software for this. but will just buying like a vista package do it? don't u need software to run that stuff? after starting this i have very rudimentary knowledge of computers (i'm only 15!) and i'd like to learn more. thanks to anyone who can help

the tower you listed comes with no power supply which is the best way to go
but you have not listed a power supply

the power supply is a combo deal thing. the link to that is in the link listed. just scroll down the page, somewhere on the left

Well first off you picked some really nice parts but there are some problems. That motherboard doesn't support that Phenom processor , it only supports the Athlon 64 X2 / Athlon 64 FX / Athlon 64. And the dvd drive you picked is only a rom drive and wont be able to burn cd's or dvd's. And dai was correct when he said the case does not come with a power supply.

the power supply you are pointing to,it's only useful use would be as a doorstop
for what you posted you need a quality supply
650w+
