I agree too it should be sticky. I'm going to order parts today but i'm a little worry since i never build. and not sure if my setup looks good.
Good guide!
Also on a personal note, why did you choose that colour for a case :P
Not my case, I don't mind it though, in the light it's a nice copper/penny colored orange. Unfortunately in the dark it tends to look like a sh*t brown. I just brought up the mid-tower cases on newegg and told my friend to pick out the one he liked. Also, the advertised color for the case was more of a Texas Longhorns or Fighting Illini orange, instead of the copper color.well i think it would ghelp alot of people. when you google for this kind of info there are many link which are rubbishVery nice! I was thinking of doing an overclocking guide like this but it probably wouldent take off.
This should be stickied for any newbs to pc building.

The sound card is a dedicated chip for decoding sound from your computer. It takes some of the load off of the motherboard and many sound cards offer much higher quality sound than the motherboards onboard sound. Often times though, sound cards are only worth the extra money if you have a high quality (meaning expensive) sound system hooked up to your computer.what the purpose of a sound card?

The sound card acts as a DAC. It converts a digital music file into an analogue signal which can be used to drive headphones or speakers. Some can also add effects such as EAX, DTS, ProLogic ect and others can help decode surround sound signals. The ASUS Xonar ST and STX also include a headphone amp which increases the volume and quality of high impedance and low sensitivity headphones ie AKGs, high end Senn, Beyerdynamics.what the purpose of a sound card?
