ill admit, not only am i a rookie, but im also somewhat computer illeterate... but everyone must start somewhere.....right?? with that said im looking to build a fast computer,that will also double as a media center and support the existing 2 hdtvs i have,with expandability for the future.

as i said...im looking for expandability in the future.. so being my first build i chose to err on the bigger side....however if some of these components seem overkill please let me know your feelings.....or if they seem inadequate for the build let me know also..
thanks for any and all help as this system will run me about 1500 and iam trying not to inccur any extra costs
