Alright, I'm up for building a new PC, I got some specs here I'd like to run by you guys. If any of you have had particularly good or bad experiences with any of these parts, I'd love to hear about them. Also, if you see any potential compatibility issues, I NEED to know about them, so please say so if you do. Also, if you have any general comments about the build overall, I'd be happy to hear them. I went cheap on the video card because I'm waiting for the DX10 cards to come out. Currently I chose to just sport a cheap x800. Also missing from here is cooling which I haven't picked out fans and likely won't order, I'll just pick up locally. So without further adu... the build.
