Default Re: Need help building computer from scratch

To answer redmoon, I don't do much gaming. When I do game, I play games like cs:source and starcraft (will probably get starcraft 2). I would really want my graphics card to have the ability to output via HDMI to my HDTV, which would be awesome. But, graphics cards is an area I don't know much about. About the quad core, I plan to buy one when I feel it will be right to upgrade my new computer I have yet to make. From my understanding, the motherboard I chose supports quad cores.

Speaking of motherboards, i've been reading some material on the net suggesting that I should buy the best (or really good) one. What do you guys think?

Where are some good places to buy these parts for my new PC? Amazon seems to have really good prices and free shipping.

To be honest, I feel like such a noob that I kinda want to build a computer with parts that you guys tell me to use. Before, I was contemplating on just buying a customized laptop from Dell, but I am guessing that it will only last 3 years.

Thx, Fatclown. Didn't even know they had SATA optical drives and 120+gb sounds good to me.
