I'm making a gaming computer. I spent a long time browsing newegg looking at parts, looking up things in descriptions and specs that seemed important, and trying to make sure what i was looking at was all compatable together.
I would appreciate confimation of the compatability of the parts, open to suggestions of changes/reasons. the HD comes bare so i also put a sata cable in the order, was this nessesary? or would cables for that come w. something else like the motherboard (ie: i shouldnt need to buy ne extra cables)?
here are the parts i picked:
Processor: Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor BX80605I5750

Video Card: recycling my ~6month old Geforce 9600 GT by PNY
Sound Card: Should i get one?
Are there any parts i didnt look into and list that i should? (i have a 19" screen ill recycle into the new build, g5 caming mouse already, my dell keyboard suits me fine, as well as speakers).
windows 7 seems to be the operating system to go with?
