I am fixing to start purchasing the parts to build my computer. This will be my first time ever to build one from scratch. Im very excited as well as nervous a little. I have picked out a few things on NEWEGG. I would like some info if anyone has any on my selections. If you think of something better that will go with it, let me know. I couldnt decide on a case, memory, cd/dvd drives. Im sure I can choose a cheap floppy. Anyways, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

CPU: P4 2.8 800fsb H/T Tech

MOBO: Asus "P4P800"

CASE: NEED HELP

MEMORY: NEED HELP

HARD DRIVE: Western Digital 120gig SATA 7200rpm

VIDEO CARD: Ati Radeon 9600xt 256mb DDR

Well, I'd need more info before recommending a case. Theres a lot of personal preferance that goes into selecting a case. I'm not too experienced with building systems, but for ram I'd just get 2 sticks of 512 meg ddr400 that's on the motherboards recommended ram list.

As far as the case goes, looking for at least 400 watt power supply. Can be a standard, server, dosent really matter. Im just not very confindent on picking one out.

After reading some stuff it seems the Ati 9600xt 256mb is not that great. People seem to like the 9600pro 128mb. Should I consider the switch? I havent bought none of my hardware yet.
