    Yeah that was a little bit messed up before. Thats not just the parts, it's also a Deluxe tool set because mine was lost inda move. About the cooling, it is running next to several other computers most of the time because I do alot of repairwork for people and my room can get seriously hot so its just to be safe. And it has a monitoring station with the fan set and the perfect number of fans to fill up all the slots for no nasty gaps. Thanx for your opinions and help though man it is really appreciated and an extremely odd thing to see out of glasseye.

    Thats my basic build for my new PC. I want to know if everything is compatible together. For instance the drives with the case, the cards with the mobo and so on and so forth. I don't want to make it uberl337, I just wanna play BF2 reasonably well so please don't go telling my to put an extra 4000Gigs of ram in and a 2TB hard drive, I can barely afford it as is.
    You do computer repair, and you have to ask if the drives will fit in the case...

              actually - when it comes to wireless, i used to play wirelessly connected to a 512k adsl modem, it was usually fine but interference meant i either got good connectivity or **** or none, so use a wire just for the sureness of constant good connection

                  Well I'm on a laptop now that has built in wireless and I get like a constant 11.0 mb/s which works fine for me since the cable picks up the slack. I can get a 20 foot extendable RJ-45 cable for $20 would that be better?

                      all fine i guess and it should all fit, most everything fits w/ everything these days. except you are wasting your money on you hdd (you're paying for a brandname), gfx card (its nvidia ffs), wireless (wireless = bad for games) and the cooling. unless you are into hardcore o/c a decent case will be all the cooling you need.
                      Hdd i agree with BUT the rest WTF are you about Nvidia rules wirless is not bad for games i use it all the time with my games and hasnt caused me a single problem. i have 5 fans in my case the more fans the better!!!

                      it should be fine its when ur wireless speed is slower then the internet connection you need wired. Example i run 1mb broadband and 108mb wirless so the wireless is still quicker!!!
