Hello, I am new to building a PC, though I am knowledged in computer systems.
Could someone tell me if I am missing anything or compatibility issues I would with this build, other than the OS (plan on getting Windows 7 Pro, 64-bit)?
I imagine I will have to get some minuscule items, such as cable extensions, so let me know about that too.
Thanks!
