thank you very much! yes it is. i bought some cheap components besides for the motherboard [i think] so i can get some experience with computer building. well most of the time if you able to play games you can do everything else. i will play games and use stuff on the internet.

I approve 63083's build. Looks pretty good to me.

Your welcome. And having a full ATX motherboard will give an improvement in overall system speed, as well give you future expandability options. It is well worth it, I will promise you. And yes, these will play games like crysis on decent settings and everything else on high to highest.

It's kind of hard to understand you, but if I get what your saying, you are wondering if all the stuff from your previous build will work for your brother? Correct? Then the answer is yes. And power supplies are both compatible. And I strongly suggest that you keep the graphics card that i recommended. It is the heart of the system and if you skimp out, games will be a no-go.

If this is not what you meant, could you please use proper punctuation so I can understand you? thanks. I just can't read if things aren't written well.
