Hey guys,
I'm building my first PC, and was wondering if you could run down my parts list and tell me if there anything I should change or need to add.
Thanks,

I plan on making a back up disk of my current computer and just moving everything over, it's currently using XP-SP3.
Comments?

ETA: I forgot to add that this computer will be used most for high-volume web surfing, and as the dump for a lot my digital photos...

Sounds fine.

I'm assuming you will be doing the OS build from scratch and not imaging your old build onto the new HD.

I honestly hadn't decided what the best way to do this is yet, I planned on worrying about after my Calc 3 final tonight, lol.
I'm building this as my own graduation present.
If I have to I'll just buy XP-SP3 again, I'd prefer not to go Vista, I'm wanting to skip it and go straight to Windows 7.
I'd also considering ripping my HD out of my current computer and using it as a secong internal HD for storage, I can't recall what make/model it is... I know it's vintage 2003... lol...

So, do it!  The Win 7 RC is out there.  I sm running in in VMware and it works pretty nice.  It will work until mid 2010 for free.  Give it a go!
