i know some very mild basics about computers and im sorta "skip diving" as i heard it called but i dont know what componants would be most compatable with others, so can anyone tell me what to look for within parts and any sites with cool cases (see through/ well lit etc)

thanks

Don't forget to do a quick PC audit to make sure your Motherboard/Processor and RAM are compatible as well as the software you intend to use!
