I have more than basic knowledge of computers though im not so hot at building my own... but im givin it a shot. here are the basic things ive picked out for my new comp. My main question is what motherboard should i go for? i really dont know what i need concerning this. I am also wondering if a 300w power supply would be enough?
*all the prices are from amazon.com. Im gonna shop around for better deals but that takes more time. I also am planning on using parts from my current pc including cd/dvd drives, network card, moniter, etc.*
