If you don't have an idea of how to build a pc, don't try.

And save yourself the trouble of fixing it when it goes bad. Same with putting everything together. Same with dealing with drivers. Same with errthing. Building a computer for someone else is the lose. People who ask me to build a computer for them...I tell them its just better to get a Dell. Which is true.

So you are building from nothing? Nothing is going to be reused? What will the computer be used for?
