So I'm building my first computer...

Stop! It's a trap!

I'm making it better, that's why I asked for parts ideas.

If you're interested, I love speccing out inexpensive gaming systems on Newegg, and I know a couple other folks here do too. If you have a budget to work with and want to do a ground-up build, say the word! Assuming four parts x $200 means you have around $800 to play with, we can totally build a respectable system for that. The combined price, including shipping, of all the parts I've linked so far (incl. 500GB Caviar Blue HDD, same drive I use as my main here) is $781. If you have a case, keyboard, mouse, and monitor you're able to use, the only thing missing is an operating system. You may have that around, or you may want a new one, which will be about $100.

I will take that offer.

I'll shoot you a PM for specifics - might be pretty close to what I linked here, depending on your options
