Hi im planning on building a computer soon. i’m an average gamer, and i’m planning to build a computer with an intel quad core proccesser. i’m also planning to get a nvidia geforce 8 series graphics card. i’m not very familiar with motherboards and other components though. i was wondering if someone could maybe recommend some other parts for me and maybe also give the the url? Thanks!

check intels website for a motherboard. or other brands like Asus or ECS, also about the graphics card, do urself a favor and aim to buy a 8800, ive got a 8600 GTS and its not handling the games today!!! , any other info u want?
I’m assuming you just need the case and that you already have keyboard, mouse, monitor and speakers. Here’s what i would build.
CPU: Q6600
GPU: 8800GT 512MB (brand doesn’t matter…this link is just the only one that is in stock right now…personally i’d go for eVGA, XFX, or BFG)
RAM: 2GB (just get 2 of these sets if you want 4GB)
PSU:
Motherboard:
HDD: (you didn’t say how much space…so i just went on the safe side)
Optical Drive:
Case: (this is really personal opinion, but here’s a good one that is popular and effective)
That should cover it…although if you want to overclock (and you should with that CPU/Motherboard combo) i’d go for this CPU cooler:
