First time builder, any suggestions

[SpazTech]

I'm building my first system and I've been researching for a couple months now. My budget is pretty fixed. I've already got the the case and monitor. If anyone could let me know if I've missed anything I'd appreciate it. I'm not planning on any serious OC'ing. Well here it is.

Looks like you're missing a sound card.. unless you want to use the on-board sound card.

I figured I'd live with on board sound for awhile.

I have that Lite-On DVD burner. It's a good drive. A little noisy tho.

i have that burner as well and it absolutely refused to load windows from it. And if youre getting that dvd burner why are you getting the cd-rw as well?

 

[Paul1]

Well I guess a burner knows what's best..

Hi,

The ASUS A8V Deluxe needs a 20 pin PSU connector. I think the Blue Storm comes with a 24 pin connector.

There is an included adapter.
