Hey there people. I've decided to make my first computer and I am completely lost as near enough most people will be! (I hope, unless I'm in a boat load of trouble.:eek:)

Now, my question is that the set I've put together work?

www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-233-GI Intel H55 Processor

www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-313-IN&groupid=701&catid=6&subcat=1672 Intel Core i5

www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-287-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1516 Corsair DDR3 4GB memory

www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-104-SA&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat= Samsung Spinpoint 1TB 32MB Cache Hard Drive

www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=NW-001-TP&groupid=46&catid=1597&subcat= Wireless N PCI adapter

www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-239-AS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1863 Asus Geforce Graphics card

Now all of that will hopefully sit in this case: www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-022-NX&tool=3 NZXT Phantom White Case

Oh yeah! I forgot! Do I need this as well? www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-117-AN&tool=3 It's an Antec PSU.

Now have I got everything covered? Will all of that stuff work? Have I left anything major out? I have got a keyboard, mouse and monitor there, but I doubt I need to link them.

Please help a newcomer to building a PC :)
 
Stulid thanks for the speedy reply :)

I'll have another look at the cases and PSU and see if there is a nice cheaper case.

Other than the CPU problem, it should all work?
 
Cheers guys :)

When I was looking through my list again (It's break time on the telly, and I've misplaced my book...)

With that hard drive will I get 1TB of space entirely or just the 32MB Cache?

I quite literally have next to no idea over computer components. Other than I need to match the sockets on the CPU and Motherboard.

Edit: Yeah, that's a really nice case. Should I get that one instead?
 
Thanks with the help over the Hard drive, RJC I just noticed your list... I'll bookmark both cases and decide what one I want when I come to that bridge.
 
Right then, I've updated my list to the GTX460, the double sticks, PSU and cases. I just have to decide now >.<

Thanks a lot Stulid and RJC, Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
 
Well then I'll upload them around Feb/Mar when this compensation for being flooded comes through :D You'll be first to know!

Oh and because I'm nosy, as you know with my inquisitive mind, in your picture: Is that a Sewer line, a power line or a missile?
 
Holy crap on a crapsicle... I have no idea what that is... Google gave me that it moves heat using gas liquid and mechanical energy.

Hey man. Thanks for being one of the few who actually are trying to help out the ozone :)

RJC's lying. He's a government doctor, and he uses that as a torture colonoscopy...

Can you imagine the pain??

Otherwise I still don't have a clue.
 
My eyes watering reading that!!! :eek:

The unit chills water which then gets pumped round the building through fan coils to keep the occupants cool, there are 4 of them, in the summer all 3 run with one as a standby.
At full load the unit is about 2mw cooling.

Coolio, so it's like a massive A/C xD

I really am worried because the government could use that... Have the hose getting smaller and smaller, before being the same size as a colonoscopy tube before shoving it in and firing freezing water up the butt, slowly killing the target and if they gave the information they would finish the job, as to make sure the enemy side don't know they know :cool:
 
And to think... Us men are going to have to have one...

Anyway, I've gotten into the matter of OS's. Do I use XP, Vista or 7? Or even possibly Linux or Mac?
 
Right, thanks. So for memory management it'd be a good thing. Thanks for helping :D

Sorry about the late reply... Was really ill yesterday :(
