ok so I have decided to stop buying car and camera stuff over the summer to build a PC.
so far I plan to buy this:

and this as my processor:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202
and mobo Need help with this
ram ( any DDR3?) with the certain mobo
sound (not so important to me, could skip if I wanted to save money. the mobo should have a port yeah?)
graphics( which brand?)
power supply (>=750)
I have that case. I'd also buy about a three years supply of compressed air, or buy an air compressor. It eats dust. Hardcore. You'll NEED to clean it out every two months, but I'd recommend every month.

yeah that is what I hear from reviews, would you recommend it? I ihave an air compressor for my car. but I am super lazy about cleaning my computer.
and what if I were to get some chicken wire and spray paint black then add more mesh to the top fan... ehh oh well I can't wait till my next pay check.
and then off to my next question should I buy everything separate or all at once,

You'd negate the whole point of having a fan on the top of your case? (Airflow)
yeah that is true my friend has this case too and he said he can keep his computer under 4o deg celcius running for 24 hours straight downloading junk and playing games.
One of my roommates has that case and it's awesome.

I see what you did there....
what is a good motherboard brand?
Asus makes really good boards.
ok another question I have been looking around at ram. and some motherboards say it can hold up to 24 gb with 6 slots.
not I am searching and searching and I cannot find 4 GB sticks... is there such thing as a 4 GB stick?
V10 or V8?

I am leaning tword the V8
oh also plan to get this ram:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145224
I could build a comparable computer on your ram budget. Why are you buying the most expensive stuff possible?
This is what I'm currently saving up for: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=8676994
[edit] Incidentally, I know that's the wrong mobo; I haven't bothered to change the wishlist. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.198660

QuoteCooling Device Heatsink and Fan included
I was planning to over clock it so that is why I wanted the cooler. but i guess I don't need it.
as for corsair ram I have been hearing good things from the dominator... but if ram is ram then I wouldn't mind buying cheap ram.
but I still plan to get the intel i7 processor.
and what is that thermal compound for?
oh wait I found what the compound was used for :P
but yeah this is my first computer build so I am going nuts on stuff hahaha.

why would I need 2 graphics cards? (x2 = times 2?)
ok this is weird so I have a new tb hard drive that I want to use a plug and play but I plug it into my computer and it will not show up in my computer.. now I am looking online and says I have to reformat my whole computer? hmm weird. oh well I think I will just take it back out then install it when I get my new computer.

Go to your control panel, Administrator tools (or something like that) and open Computer Management. Go to Storage-> Disk management, and you should be able to enable your drive from there.
Found it thanks Blaze.
I also wasn't seeing it because I did not have my Hard drive hooked up to the right sata. which I don't have enough of. so I am getting an external inclosure.
There were some plugs on the mobo that looked like the slots where I was suppose to the wires but I guess that did not work so I switched my CD drive off and plugged that one and it worked.
but the point off all that was to day I am going to get an external drive.
Just realized tho that I will need another hard drive for my new computer. gahhh. wtf.
oh well I will get a 130gb one then send all my files over to the tb one...

What's with the intel hard-on? They may be the ones pushing the envelope, but they're not the best value.
I settled on what I'm getting, and placed my order last night:

That depends heavily on your price point.
Perhaps for high (more than I personally would spend) price points. None of the intel chips I considered were better values than equivalent AMD chips. Since the world revolves around me, we can conclude that AMD chips are a better value in the general case. ;)

$160 for 6GB of RAM? That's not a horrible price. heh.

Why'd you pick a 128-bit video card, even if you are running SLI? And will you ever really utilize that quad core? Seems like overkill, imo.

By saying that it depends on the price point, you have in fact agreed with me that it depends on the price point ;)
