    Ok, hi everyone...

    I want to start of, that it's my FIRST time building a computer and I need your advices very much. In general, I need you to tell me, if I'm missing any of the components:

    Chassis (with Power Supply); Motherboard (with Integrated Audio); Processor; Memory; Graphics Card; Hard Disk(s); Optical Drive(s).

    Monitor; Keyboard and Mouse; Acoustics.

    Now - I need your help very much. So, if I DO miss any of the components - please tell me.

    Thanks a lot! :)

    P.S. This should be a gaming PC for a medium price, that I will upgrade in 2 years, when Windows 7 will come up. Big B, if you could participate in here for a while - I would really appriciate that.

    Thank you guys for the corrections...

    Now, is there anything else I forgot to mention? What else can be put into a gaming PC?

    Thanks.

    P.S. To say truly - I am really surprised by how little amount of stuff should be in... lol.

    lol yeah but those little things do a lot.... you may want a seperate power supply because the ones that come in cases are usually crap. Try an ocz, corsair or a thermaltake power supply ANd if you are wanting it to be a gaming PC, it needs to be at least 500W to power the graphics card and processor

    Thanks guys...

    The chassis I want (RC-332) comes with 430W power supply and 120mm chassis fan. Maybe I'll upgrade it to 550W and add one more fan in front for better airflow.

    The only questions are left is - if you'll check Real Power section and click in for details for 550W power supply and then go to images you'll see a small blue display in front of CAC-T05. My question is - can this display be integrated into RC-332 thrue a slot, that is above input slot (with two USB 2.0 ports)? Acually, is this small display fixes into such slots?

    Thanks.

    P.S. If that would be all - I should be marking this thread as "solved".

    I can't find a Coolermaster RC 332 on any UK site that ive checked, i did however find an RC 331 which was priced around £20. Unless your case is costing a fair bit, don't expect them to provide you with a power supply that you could use for anything other than boiling a kettle.

    This whole section confused the hell out of me.

    Where is the Real Power Section? You could have maybe put a link in there. :confused:

    LOL, sorry... click here.

    That's strange you haven't used Google to search for CoolerMaster's web page. :)

    P.S. Thanks for you attention and help.
