Yup, be gentle :P

So this is what I have in mind/have purchased so far...

Purchased:
COOLER MASTER RC-690-KKN1-GP Black SECC/ ABS ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - $40
Antec 850 True Power Quattro - $75
Seagate 320 GB HD Sata 7200 rpm - $60

Buying in next few months:
GT 8800 Graphics Card
Intel Core 2 Duo
2+ GB of RAM...
Mobo? (I have no clue on the pros/cons of mobo and what to look for... I know to look for multiple PCI slots and all but not much else....)
(Looking for deals on these items in coming months)

What you think? Looking to game abit and have some decent storage (Have another external HD to hook up) Wanting to spend about $750 on it total...

Thanks for any tips/suggestions :P

heh this is going to be quite the learning experience, trust me :P

Im keeping HD space at about 500 GB right now, will get more as deals and money increases... That DDR3 Ram is too expensive... Looking at DDR2 Ram for about $50... Mobo I am still looking at...
