I still need a mobo, a powersourse, cd-rom drive, dvd drive and cd-rw(would be nice for a drive combo.) I may have left something out but im not sure. this is a gonna be a gaming computer.

well i was just looking around and was wondering should i go dual amd processors with an amd board or stay single pentium if amd what chips and what board? board must be dual as amd cannot reach speeds of pentium chips and im not willing to overclock.

Thanks for your time

Check out the Antec True Power series. With all that gear I'd look at the 480W p/s.

Hmm well i think im gonna use a few components out of my current computer as they r what i am looking for. Like my power supply and certain small things maybe the cd-rw and cd-rom drive they arent that old and work pretty well. Ill buy the case soon and take a picture and show u guys my before and after pic!
