Comments:
1. Building my first system was a lot of fun.
2. Definatly a lot easier than I thought it would be.
3. I will probobly not buy a prebuilt rig again, it's more rewarding building it yourself, I never thought I could ever do it, but it was pretty straight foward.
4. Thanks everybody for all the help on this build.

Any comments about your first build?
 
I'm building soimething pretty similar to that..

Any problems at all, even the slightest?

A heads up maybe about a certain part

The only thing I had trouble figuring out was installing both the cd drive and hard drive on the same cable, I didn't use an SATA cable on this build. I just tried out a few games, this thing performs beautifully.
 
Glad you're happy w/ your new rig.

Couple of questions:
1. Will you be overlclocking?
2. What are the stock timings on that RAM?
3. How do you like that 19" Sony LCD?

1. Yeah, I bought the mobo and ram for overclocking.
2. It's supposed to be 5-5-5-12, but cpuz reports it as 5-5-5-18, how can I change that?
3. It's bright and very clear, it's okay as far as the res. goes.

Here's the thing, I'm not 100% sure how to overclock a cpu, never done it before in my life, but there's a first time for everything.
