New computer build (any advice appretiated)

Case without power supply? Whats the difference? And the cheapest I could go if I get a case and powersuply separate is $150, while right now im paying only $50 for both.
 
Get a case without a powersupply and get yourself a decent powersupply. Seriously. I am not kidding you. Do NOT skimp on the power supply.
 
Hmm ok well this is hopefully the final build. Ive looked over other posts, and this is the best I could come up with. $400 more expensive that I originally planned, but atleast im getting the good things. Oh, and is the OCZ power supply that I chose a good one? And the case looks nice, and hopefully is durable. Also upgraded to 2GB ram instead of only 1 to increase perfomance.

Now we're talking man. That's perfect. The psu is more than enough and everything else looks kickass!!!!!!

Well for cooling, the stock is ok, but I would highly suggest you get this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16835118004
to cool the cpu. I'm getting one of these very soon, as soon as I have time to :D

Good luck man and enjoy!

Thermalright SI-128 is better than the Zalman. I would rather get that than the Zalman.
 
Haha sweet. I think il hold on before buying anything else for this PC. Cause my dad is paying for it, and im like...500 dollars over the limit he set me to. But w/e. And will everything fit in the case I chose. Cause it sais it supports 11"x12" mobos, but mine is 12"x9.5". Ive read some reviews on newegg, and people say its just a typo. So hopefully they are right.
 
well i read that there could be some problems with the thermalright h/s, that specific one above, having problems mounting due to the heatpipe on the ASUS M2N Series motherboards.

I'm sure it can fit a normal ATX sized motherboard like the one you chose.
