What's up guys?

Enjoying my new computer, but need some speakers

Will these cheap speakers http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6836150071 be compatible with the default soundcard that came in my motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813128362 ?

Thanks!

My rig is sweet. Got everything put together (but still waiting on my monitor - come on newegg).

I will make a thread with pictures when I get off work and link to it.

Thanks for everyone's help

Ah, you are correct there was one in the box. How do I know if paste is pre-applied?

PARTS ARE HERE!! Started putting together and already have an array of questions: 1) Do I need a CPU cooler (fan that goes over CPU)? 2) Do I need heat sink paste? 3) I'm following this guide http://www.legitreviews.com/article/316/2/ and am already having problems at "installing the hard drive...

Ok, purchased the network card, so looks like all my parts are shipped. Get excited for some pictures and questions in the upcoming days! haha

hope everyone's christmas went well

Thanks!

forced to use wireless.

And it's basically directly over it, just a floor up.

water and physics looks great, but rest of game looks pretty un-interesting

If you went with an 802.11 draft n card you should be fine as its backwards compatible with 802.11 b & g. I'm thinking you could really just get by with an 801.11 g card (better selection & costs less) as I doubt your school has a draft n network yet, but I could be wrong. is there one on n...

is this verizon DSL or FiOS? it's not DSL, it's just cable. Doesn't even really matter, as I'm leaving to go back to school in 3 weeks and we have a different network (jet broadband) down there. So basically I need a network card that works in all networks... similar to what's in my laptop. I'm sti...

Also, how's this wireless card look?

Haha sorry guys. I have the Verizon network, which provides in-home ISP as well. (Also have Verizon the cell phone carrier, but that's another subject entirely).

Am I the single "dumbest" person to ever use these forums? Sure seems like it haha.

As far as the wireless card goes, just be sure to get one that's compatible with the format of your router (i.e.: 801.11b or 801.11g, 802.11 n draft etc...) I can't really recommend any brand or give advice on the advantages of a PCI vs. USB based adapter. I've always used PCI based cards and have ...

Your mobo has 8 channel on board sound so you can use that at no extra cost. Wireless card is your call. Do you have access to a hard wired connection or are you running a wireless network only? If you're wireless only then yes, you will need one as this board doesn't have an on board wireless chip...

Will that ram run at 1600 without overclocking? I think the EVGA board said 1333 (1600 overclocked). Well, we are pretty much right at your budget. How much would you be willing to spend on the monitor? You could get a 22" monitor for under $200. Or you could get a 22" with 1900x1080 for ...

I have...no idea. How do I find that out?

Alright. My possibly final product. How do I ensure that they all are compatible? Anything else I should splurge on? What should I look for in a monitor? Antec 900: $109.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6811129021 PCP&C 750w100 power supply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ...
