Is this a good first build?

errrmm no. It is a small form factor case which means it is tiiiiny. Needs half height cards and overheats very easy cause there is no space inside. Personally i would steer well clear.
 
You're probably going to spend an additional $300 in parts after you get that because it's missing the CPU, RAM, and HDD. I don't think I would get that for a first build because you don't know anything about the motherboard. I never heard of a small form factor DVD drive. Hmmm, I would just forget about that and just get a budget Dell PC from their main website or just build one from scratch. That way, you what parts are in your PC. How much are you planning to spend anyways?

Wooooo, you can get a pretty good PC going then. Yeah, forget that Dell on eBay. It's a bad deal for anyone.

The list you have is pretty good. As long as that motherboard supports your Core 2 Duo CPU, you're all set. I'll have to put together something for you later....I'm watching Minority Report on TV right now......

Thanks! Yea im pretty much stuck with the case though, im highest bidder. Maybe I can try and re sell it though.
 
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.
