It all looks good and very similar to the PC I'm building now.

:) Tnks for quick response to will this work. I have built a few Heath kits and am reasonably adept @ following instructions. Looking thru your book ( pgs75 - 77) the BIOS section is a bit disconcerting. When I try 1st boot will my screen show exact same data as your book shows?
YOUR instructions are great but since I am using different motherboard I am concerned that where you say things like " check the manual for your motherboard" the instructions will be way over my head. I can follow YOUR instructions will I be able to follow my motherboard instructions?
On pg 18 of book you mention"Motherboard Accessories" and list quite a few items " you may not need but are hard to find" .Where do I purchase " Motherboard Accessories"?
Lastly if I may I will offer a suggestion. YOUR instructions are terriffic except when you identify items by the COLOR they are circled with. The book is printed in Black & White so one cannot tell blue circle fm green circle. Suggest you circle in color AND mark area with a number or letter: refer to part X as circled in yellow marked with # 1, part Y circled in blue marked with # 2 etc.
Thanks for your help and fast reply. I retire in mid April and will start my "build" in May. Thanks again
