1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. 
Gaming and burning movies for my family
2. What YOUR budget is. A price range is acceptable as long as it's not more than a 20% spread
Im past my budget, wife is already going to kill me. 1200ish is good with me. I told the wife 500 hahaha
3. What country YOU will be buying YOUR parts from.
USA, newegg
4. IF YOU have a brand preference. That means, are you an Intel-Fanboy, AMD-Fanboy, ATI-Fanboy, nVidia-Fanboy, Seagate-Fanboy, WD-Fanboy, etc, etc, etc, you get the picture.
nVidia and Asus - I will never use a non asus mobo again, ever.
5. If YOU intend on using any of YOUR current parts, and if so, what those parts are.
None.
6. IF YOU have searched and/or read similar threads.
7. IF YOU plan on overclocking or run the system at default speeds.
Default
8. WHEN do you plan to build it?
Gonna order it in a week or 2

Ive been out of this game for a while now, about 5 years. I cant even run freakin spore and Im stuck playing age of mythology still.
I really just need someone to tell me what power supply is cheap and will run this np. Ive always been confused with all the anomalies that actually make up a psus power.
Also if Im missing anything or anything can be swopped out for a better price/performance ratio lemme know. I did almost no research at all on this so any help will be appriciated.
Thanks
Chris
