Probably my last thread here, since I now know how much money I have. I have 9500 SEK, or about 1350$.
So here is what I put together at last
[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/vsWnn.png[/IMG]
+ 500 GB Western Digital Caviar Blue for 690 SEK (on another website, much cheaper)
Total: 9043 SEK
I already have a screen, but its a little bit crappy, would like to buy a newer one.
Will it work?
Anything I can save some money on?
what site are you using

[url]http://www.inet.se/produkt/6900528/xfx-core-edition-650w-80-bronze[/url] much better

Hows it better?
I'm probably not going to overclock until the processor is getting old, will the stock cooling work fine for gaming?
Bump, kinda. A 550W power supply will do, right?
Figured out it will. But honestly, I really need help now, can I buy an OEM copy of Windows 7 somewhere else, or do I have to buy it with the hardware? Found it much cheaper on another site, but I heard OEM is bound to the motherboard, somehow.

Stock cooling works fine for gaming at stock clocks.
550w should be just fine.
OEM windows is single install with no ms support, retail you can reinstall it to another machine (or yours with hardware changes) as long as you deactivate the old install. But there are ways around that, considering you legally acquired windows id say its justified.
Thanks for the help! I have finalized my build, think I'm going to order today, even tough its Sunday. But Ive split up the order on two sites, making it much cheaper. So I have loads of money left if I want to add a stock cooling. Do you get more performance from cooler parts?

Some parts will underclock themselves when they reach a certain temperature, but I highly doubt you'll reach those temperatures.
If you can, get a Hyper 212+ Evo or just a 212+ .
It is cheap and good.
Okay, thanks :) I'm skipping the fan. I want some money left for the three games that I've missed, that I'm going to buy.
I'm going to order today, very soon.
Build looks like this:

Anyone have good tutorials on how to build it all together?
Yep, I just ordered all parts for the computer. There was some changes of sites where I ordered stuff, because Inet didn't have the motherboard.
So I should have all parts in about four days. :D Thanks for all the help, might be bumping if I need more help while building.

Remember, wires are a huge bitch and you should start cable tying them early
I didn't and now I have a whole bunch of wires in my case hanging precariously near my HDD trays, thanks ridiculous non modular PSU that has way too many cords.
Okay I just got all parts :D I'm missing some cables for

SATA Cables.
I've seen tons of different sata cables. Which one do I need?
And the power for the component is placed in the sata connector too, right?

Looks like this: [url]http://uk.startech.com/media/products/sata6/Large/SATA6.Alarge.jpg[/url]
And no, the SATA power connectors are hard-wired to the PSU.
Wait, so a sata cable consists of two cables, one to the motherboard, and one to the PSU? And you can buy SATA only cables, and SATA + power.
Am I right?

You have a SATA Data cable which connects the drive to the motherboard.
You also have a SATA Power cable which connects the drive to the PSU.
The power cables are hard wired to the PSU.
The data cables are separate. Sometimes they're included with the drive, but if not you have to purchase them separately.

Ah thanks. I was out and bought some data cables
[editline]11th January 2012[/editline]
PSU, DVD reader and hardrive is installed. Just everything on the motherboard left :D
Okay, so can I put an SATA-I cable from the DVD reader into SATA-II port on the motherboard?
[QUOTE=phuwnaren;34164578]Okay, so can I put an SATA-I cable from the DVD reader into SATA-II port on the motherboard?[/QUOTE]
Yes, the cables are the same. And SATA is back compatible.
Thanks!
you nearly always get a couple of SATA cables included with the motherboard
WOOP I'M DONE AND IT ALL WORKED :D
Also, I DID get SATA cables, I should have checked first. Luckily I can return the one I bought.
