    graphics card, motherboard, processor, RAM, hard drive, disk drive, USB drive, sound card, and a fan.

  3. here you go

  4. If you would like to build a simple system you should be able to get by with an integrated motherboard

    > Motherboard (contains following)
    >>Intg Video
    >>Intg Network Card
    >>Intg Sound

    >Hard Drive (I Recomend IDE it will be compliant w/ your Motherboard)

    >CD/DVD rom

    >Ram (must work w/ your motherboard)

    >Case

    >Processor (Must be compatable socket w/ motherboard)

    >HeatSync (Must be compatible w/ processor and socket)

    I would start by priceshopping on newegg.com or tigerdirect.com find a cheap motherboard with the features you want. From there find a processor ram and a heatsync.

  5. i dont know.no one knows

  6. The first thing you should get is Motherboard (recomended with a processor together), because each mobo suports diferent type of parts.
    Then buy memory (make sure you know which type your mobo supports.
    Then a big enough case, then buy hard drive, CD-DVD drive, video card, sound card if one is not built in in your mobo, but depending on the mobo you have you might need aditional components.
