Building My First Computer

Yup.

It would be VERY helpful if you would list the maximum amount of money you're willing to put into this.

Most I'd be willing to do is $250 - $350.

I noticed the samsung M6 is a notebook hard drive.

Switch it with something like this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152052

Also, this psu has better reviews, efficiency and amps. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...AFC-C8Junction

I'd suggest that you wait a bit and spring for more decent computer/parts. I'd suggest at least a nvidia 8800 over the 8600. 600 watt power supply is plenty. If you put in $20 more or so you could easily get 4 gigs of ram. As mentioned before the current harddrive you have is a laptop harddrive, look for something that is 3.5." You want a 7200 rpm harddrive over a 5400 rpm harddrive. Also if this is your first time putting a computer together you may want to invest in some compressed air, thermal paste, and a set of non-magnetic screwdrivers.

Technically, I'm not building it. I'm going to collect the money for the parts, send the money to my computer-nut uncle and he'll sen me back my computer
