More Information

Hi. This is actually my first time building a computer.
And so far i got these items.
I'm missing some, such as the basics because i'll probably find them cheap somewhere.
But as of for now. I'm jsut concerned about these.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814127333 = $155

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817182030 = $60

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 50&x=0&y=0 = $325

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811144190 = $70

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applica [...] -BB-103202 = $130

I saw some threads with some of the same items at cheaper price, but i'm just using the ones i found to show you guys. Not really concerned with the price yet. I'll search around for the cheapest once i decide which ones i want.

Also wanted to say that I'm planning to build a Quad-Core, SLI supporting desk top. WIth Mid Tower. I don't really like full towers... they're too big.

I would definitely avoid the mobo, the 600i series of nvidia chipsets are horrible. If you must sli, get 750 or 780i. But if you weren't going to sli I would pick up a P45 mobo or X48 mobo. I would change the psu.
