Build a new desktop

I have always wanted to build a computer. Back in the day, my brother built one, and would never let me play on it, so I decided that one day I wanted to build one of my own! I’ve been considering it for about a year and haven’t had the funds (actually, I did – I bought my Macbook Pro, instead). I have compiled a list of parts, links, and prices. So, you computer geeks, give your advise/opinion and let me know if anything is missing (part-wise).

If you want to download the Excel Spreadsheet, complete with prices, descriptions, and links, click here.
