I've always had crappy computers, so now I'm building one that's a bit more modern. Not aiming for the best PC, just something that's cheap but will still handle newer applications.
I have a case already with a DVD drive, Power Supply, etc. I'm just ordering a hard drive, motherboard, processor and some RAM. (Maybe a decent graphics card if I have the extra cash, too)

So after looking for a while, I came to the decision on these products:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822136319
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813135237
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820148262

I'm just wondering if anyone knows if any of these won't be compatible with each other, or if it will all work fine.
I just don't want to buy it all, put it together just to find out there's going to be hardware compatibility issues.

Thanks.

Honestly? because it was the first on the list.

Thanks a lot, though. I think I just might be set.

Worrying About compatibility? Spec issues? Case fittings? That is not the best way to do it and get it done quickly. You also will need/want a couple good phillips screw drivers - maybe a parts kit. A "bare bones kit".
A barebones kit,parts kit OR phillips of mulltiple sizings and a couple Operating system iso's of your picking is your best bet for ease of build and not worrying about send backs/over looked issues.
But I see you already have components which changes things.

Barebone kits are already preset for compatibility by the seller. Building barebone kits then selling them finished - IF you check the numbers right first. Can net you a little decent profit. Between school and work i've been up for nearly 30 hours consecutively soon and am going to bed. My spelling and grammer may be questionable at this point. But for future reference burn a OS iso and buy a barebones kit.

    That's a relief to hear. Do you know what happened?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BakerMan, Any idea what happened? I hope that your brother's doing good.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    He couldn't eat until after his MRI, when he had a bomb pop.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    What matters now is that he's doing alright.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    But you still don't know what it was?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Has he had seizures before?
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
