I'm not sure why I didn't just get a barebone kit at this point, but I didn't and here I sit with my first build. I would like to hear some thoughts of how I've done so far and where to go from here. I'm stuck and a bit shell shocked. To the best of my knowledge (limited) all I need is an OS and Monitor.

Any help at all would be great. I should have come here first.

Looks good Maxx as long as your not a gamer. If you plan to play a lot of modern games, you'll want something more powerful than a GT240.

Thanks. No, will just be a casual gamer. But, if I ever get to that point of wanting to do more, I'll certainly check here first next time.

Thanks again.
