For the experts! (good budget.)

I'm in-experienced. I've never built a computer before but I'm willing to learn (from the manual that comes with the case?)

I'm looking for a setup (if anyone would be as kind to spoon-feed a newbie)

A setup that could become a dedicated server host. I've already promised to become a server hoster for an emulated game. I want to set it up on my computer so that they won't have lag, I can carry-load a very nice amount of people (in the hundreds). I also want a very very very big amount of hard drive space. the largest. (I'm a beautiful torrent man who downloads things in bulk. My current computer is already 2/3r'ds full from it.)

:P.

I'm also not a super-top of the league video gamer. I play a 2D game (For years.) and am most likely going to still play it, and no other real games. So I don't need an amazing graphic card, but a good one.

For cooling... I like it when the computer doesn't make a huge amount of fan noise either.

and for the case... just get me something that'll fit and isn't completely ugly (I prefer black/white as color.)

I hope someone can help out an idiot like me. :P

I've heard newegg is pretty popular.

and My budget is less than 1600.

No screen included either. My friend hooked me up with a 28" inch for free.

Re: For the experts! (good budget.)

This is high end if you need to shave some money off drop the cpu to a Q9550 or E8600
There isn't a big price difference between the 9800GT and the 9600GT so I gave you the 9800, Keyboard and mouse are not on this list if you need pick out ones you like.
