Hello,
I would like to build a cpu to be used for basic computing, internet, HD DVD/Blu-ray, some gaming...I am not interested in OC right now as I am just learning. However, I want to build the best cpu I can for $2000.
I have some parts picked out but I am open to expert opinions on what would be the best for my budget and use. Thanks.
OK, here is what I have so far, I am missing a PS as I am not sure what size...I know I would like a modular PS if possible.

I have a few questions that may sound dumb...
1. What is "OEM" VISTA? Why are the OEM cheaper?
2. Should I go with the 64bit VISTA? 64bit is the future, right?
YES, I want to use VISTA...PLEASE do not make fun of me, I know most think everything MS makes is trash but I own stock in MS and I have made plenty of money off MS to buy their garbage...Gotta support the cause!
3. I need advice on a power supply and any other advice is welcome as well.
