umm well im only going to need the necessary things for a computer... i already got a laser printer... and im keeping my old computer... thats going to be my fathers computer to mess around with now.... so all im really going to need is a network card which i can buy for a cheap and the computer itself... lolz
whats your budget?
id suggest newegg.com personally
monitor
keyboard
mouse
floppy drive
cd drive (cdrw dvdrw whatever ur into)
mother board
processor w/fan or without then u gotta get aftermarket one
ram
hard drive
speakers
soundcard
video card
network card
modem if thats what us use
alot of the items can be taken off of the list depending on the mother board you buy asus a7n8x come with network card and sound card firewire usb 2.0 saves a little bit of money also can get that same board with onboard video i dunno about that tho
well i found a good frame/case... :P
BLUE CHIEFTEC <-- well im going to find a better color :P... i like silver
Western Digital Caviar Special Edition WD800JB
CORSAIR MEMORY 512MB PC2700 VALUE SELECT. DDR RAM - OEM
:P heheh... now let's start thinking about the rest...
i want a power supply upgrade... something cheap....
im basing the stuff on alienware right now
im planning to get some logitech items >> speakers, mouse, keyboard from there...
now i need a good video card, sound card, processor n mother board... monitor i can get where i live.... lolol... still got alot of things...
ehh is this a good site to get a com...
http://www.abspc.com
gaming com...
If I were you I would check out pricegrabber.com. They are an excellent place for comparison shopping and offer many different vendors. Pricewatch.com is another price comparing site, but some of the vendors there don't look as reputable.
Good luck with your computer.
heh thanks im going to get it in april when i have school off... parents already decided that im going to get a new com.. now i still have time to change my parts :P

a heatsink, fan, and thermal paste to install on the CPU
some RAM
a video card
