Is this a good first build?

Hey, sounds like a good PC, but thats really like a gaming PC, you should get into gaming.

Bad case though, get one from newegg. I can't imagine how hot a C2D would get in such a small case.

That or rebuilding it, if you can get the parts from Dell.

Ya go through newegg for sure on your build. I'd come up with a list for ya but its late and i've got work in the morning. Be sure to glance my build your own PC guide here. It should help you out some after you get your parts. Clicky

Oh man that is REALLY REALLY REALLY small. You won't be able to upgrade it that well, and you also wont get any cooling in there.

It is also a dell, so it is a lose lose. Sorry about being so frank, but that case is seriously not that good.

Edit: what is your budget, and what are you going to be using this for? I will make the build for you if you want.

Wow thanks alot. I just kinna browsed through other PC's and came up with my list. So what do you think would be a good choice for a case? I like the ones that light up and are flashy...lol.

Well i was looking at newegg at first then when I seen that case i wanted i found it on newegg and it was almost a $100 difference I think.

I would love to get into gaming, im going to try just working keeps me pretty busy. I have the sims2 and hardly ever get to play it.

 

[shadygirl420]

Not necessarily. Alot can happen in 15 hours. People like to snipe on eBay and you'll probably be outbid in the last few minutes.

I hope someone out bids me.
