I just want to know:

1. Will these all work together? I'm pretty sure they will.

2. I figured that I don't need a badass vid card because I won't be using this computer for gaming or high def porn, but should I maybe go a little better?

3. Can someone what cables I need for hooking all of that up.


Thanks in advance. I'm not a computer wiz so I need a little help with this.
 
Looks pretty good. You may want to look at a passively cooled video card instead of a fan if you want it quieter, if it doesn't matter then your fine.

I'm kinda computer dumb but what are the advantages of building a PC verse just buying one?
I'm sure that computer is good but what is the advantage compared to just buying something like this
Asus - Essentio Desktop / AMD Phenom™ II X6 Processor / 8GB Memory / 1TB Hard Drive - CM1730-07

It's barely more then the cost of the CPU alone, built, with a warranty.

Basically just because I can control what I put in and don't put in. Including which parts I choose to use, etc.. Then also its just more cool stuff to learn. I like to get all geeky and learn new stuff. By doing this I will control what I get, and learn various things which will then make it easier for me to upgrade in the future etc..

Do you have any suggestions. I'm just starting to learn about comps and all, so a good example would be cool. I definitely want quiet.
 
I feel you. I took a class in HS on computers and putting them together haha. I guess I'm just too lazy to build. I got bit with the overpriced Mac bug.
