I want to build multipurpouse computer that i can use for gaming, storing music and mabe some videos. I have been researching which components to get and the following list is what I have come up with. It will cost about $1000 total. If any one could give my any suggestions or tell me anything i might be missing it would help me alot.
also is the memory i have chosen good, there are so many choices and i'm not really sure which one to pick. I used newegg.com's search to make sure its compatable with my motherboard.
and
what operating system should i get: windows xp or vista, and which package: Home, Business, System Builder?
Thank you,
Nick
