I for one am not really interested in opening 12 different web pages to see what kind of system you are considering.

Try it like this:

Shuttle SD31-P1-BK-V1 Intel Socket T(LGA775) Intel Pentium 4/Celeron INTEL 945G 2x 240Pin Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 950 Barebone - Retail

connect3D 3040B Radeon X1800XT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 VIVO PCI Express x16 Video Card - OEM

Intel Pentium 4 3.0E Prescott 800MHz FSB 1MB L2 Cache Socket 478 Processor - Retail

LITE-ON Black 16X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 4X DVD+R DL 16X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 24X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2M Cache IDE DVD Burner - Retail

G.SKILL Extreme Series 1GB 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM Unbuffered DDR2 533 (PC2 4200) System Memory - Retail

Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 ST3250823AS 250GB 7200 RPM 8MB Cache Serial ATA150 Hard Drive - OEM

Might want to shorten names too

I only judge AMD systems, sorry, but the hard drive and burner look good.

Can't go wrong with shuttle either.

That processor is socket 478. You need LGA 775
Get a 7800 GTX

us3rnotfound, thanks. I knew something like that would come up. Also, do i need to buy ne cables? I'm not familiar w/ jumpers, so if someone could advise me bout that, that would be awesome. And the last thing, what about cooling? I'm not sure how much this needs.

That processor is going to heat up your entire house... My bro in law's idles at 62 with Zalman AlCu 7000 Cooler.

Hi GeneralNoga and Welcome to the forums!

Might wanna have a look at this SITE. Its a photo guide to building a PC, created by one of our members here.

That's a horrible setup. Try something more like this...

$298 s939 barebone
$201 Venice 3500+

First of all, what is this PC going to be used for? It would probably me a much wiser choice to go AMD.
