I have more questions on what to get ??

What should i get:Motherboard-1. Intel or AMD2. DDR2 1066 or DDR2 800 (For AMD with the 1066 memory channel has me wondering)3. 8 or 16 Gb supported.Processor4. Dual core or Dual core5.What speed?Case (my first real build)6. Full or Mid ( I do not move my PC around very much)7. How many fans and what sizeVideo Card8. Are 2 GPU video cards worth it?Power Supply9. Whats a good amount of wattage ?I have more questions on what to get ??
intelidk? idk what you are askingdual or quad? i would go for quadany case is good, but if you want to overcloack, get one with pre-made fansfull?idkthey worth itidkI have more questions on what to get ??
I meant dual or quad core
lol i was on a hurry ^^okayMotherboardi would pick intel, they are a bit expensive but they work fineDDR2 800idk what you are reffering toProcessorquad coreget a 2.00 and overcloak it to 3.00 if you canCaseget one with fans if you want to get rid of theheati dont know..Power supplyi dont know :S
Motherboard: Intel is the way to go these days, and for most gamers the P45 chipset is the way to go. It supports DDR2 various DDR2 speeds, but all boards support at least DDR2 800, and to be quite honest, faster RAM doesn't offer better performance. I'd go with a reputable manufacturer like Gigabyte, Biostar, or ASUS, although be careful with ASUS since they do have a few rather crappy low-end boards.Processor: Dual-core is superior for gaming, and by the time we see some serious quad-core support odds are that the quad-core chip you're on will be a bit too slow to really take advantage of multi-threading anyway. Some of the best processors on the market right now are the E5200, E7200, and E8400.Case: A mid-tower is just fine, and will be cheaper. They don't support as many drives as a full-tower case does, but odds are you won't have more than two hard drives and two 5.25'' drives anyway, so stick with a mid-tower case. I'd recommend at least 1 intake and 1 exhaust fan, preferably 120mm in size. You've got pretty free reign here, so just pick something you like the look of.Graphics card: Two cards aren't generally worth it unless you have a lot of money to burn. You also have to muck about with different chipsets for Nvidia and ATI cards, but since Nvidia's current chipsets are sub-par at best, that leaves you with ATI. I'd just get a solid-performing single card and be done with it. Don't spend too much, you're better off with a $200 card now and another $200 card in a year or two than you will be spending $400 now and not upgrading for four years.Power supply: The LAST thing you want to look at is wattage. A power supply doesn't add performance, it should be judged on reliability, efficiency, and how well it regulates power. A reliable 380w power supply is better than a cheap 600w unit. Given Corsair's excellent track record and pricing, stick with one of their power supplies and you can't go wrong. I'd probably be shopping in the 500-650w range if you follow my guidelines, that'll offer plenty of power both now and in the future.
Thanks for the guideline, I will be most likely getting a P45 board (Gigabyte) and most likely a raedon video card (4850). And still looking for the rest.
If you want a case that will last you long, and a nice big one, get the antec 1200. It has 3 120mm fans on the front and 2 on the back. Also, a 220 or 200mm fan on the top. Its a freaking wind tunnel.
Intel, get the e5200, get a thermalrite 120 ultra extreme cooler with it, overclock itGet 4gbs of ddr 2 ram, g.skill is what I have, it works greatGet a p45 motherboard, alot of companies make them, they are good overclockersGet 1 9800gt, and get an arctic cooling s1 rev 2 cooler, that will make it very overclockableGet a case that has good reviews, under $100 is good, make sure to have at least 1 120mm fan, and at least 2 80mm fans in the case

A case designed like a wind tunnel would have a powerful front intake (s), weaker exhaust, and be completely closed up in the middle.
