Hi am building myself a new computer. This is the first time i have ever built one. I have installed graphics cards and ram before thats not a big deal. I have watched multiple videos etc on how to build one. Now i would like to know is how good this computer is how fast could i make it go if i overclocked it what are the specs i should change in bios to overclock it and if you know of anything cheaper that i have but runs just as good what is it. http://www.directron.com/atxbigtowe... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?in... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/Produ... And this is my computer.

For hard drive, if u can go with the Seagate NS series, they are tough, fast and cheap, recommend the 320GB For dvd, get Lite-on instead. Best reader so far. CPU: go with 2.4 quad core since they are same price.

The only thing that's "iffy" is the power supply. It's a good one, but the split +12v rail may be insufficient. If it hasn't been ordered yet, consider one with a single +12v rail. Here's an example: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...

"For dvd, get Lite-on instead. Best reader so far." careful on this one. if you want to play games watch out. some games dont like select Lite-on drives at all. i think they use to use ghost drives for piracy that look like Lite-on and since then some games just wont run off em. but if you can try getting a drive with lightscribe and there great. but be warned the drve that can burn a full disk of data in 2mins takes 30 mins to do the label. all text needs typos. There there for the reader to find,to distract them from the total lack of content. google it! wasnt the answer to the question i asked so dont be dense and give me that repl

"Hi am building myself a new computer. This is the first time i have ever built one." congrats ! i can sense your excitement. in the world of computing, this is an exercise you will thoroughly enjoy doing and more so when you see your "baby" take off lol. my first build was 9 years ago and i just WISH i could go through it again (even the trauma of the usual "HDD not being detected" - incorrect jumper setting) take your time with the build, learn. if something doesn't go quite right, then appreciate that fact >>>> its fun trying to rectify it. there are some cluey gurus in here (not me lol) and elsewhere on the net. good luck :) .

you will love building a new computer! my first build was 2 years ago when i was 12. I loved it (apart from the whole being a slow computer because i only had £100 to spend on parts!)

I was 40 before I ever touched a computer. larry
