The building guide sticky at the top of the forum is a really good one. It's kept fairly up to date so it shows you a lot of what to expect. I would also take a look at the troubleshooting sticky (link's in my signature) just so you have an idea of what to try if it doesn't work right away.

Placed my order today, shouldn't ordered sooner lol, the F3 drive rose to $90 xD.
But it isn't a total lost, got some nice fatality earphones for only $34...

I'm thinking of going to microcenter to pick up on of those microsoft natural mouses, tried on out at walmart and boy does that thing feel nice.

Funny thing happened today though...spilled coffee on my keyboard -.-...fml 70 bucks worth of keyboard....lol guess that means I'll be checking those out too.

edit: also do you know the kind of screwdrivers I need? I have a standard toolset, nothing fancy.

^You'll just need a phillips head screwdriver.

 

[soul reaper]

ah ok, ty

anyone have a good recommendation for a <$50 keyboard for gaming?

 

[tecmo34]

If you are a COD MW fan, this is a good keyboard and about the best under $50 gaming keyboard I found.

 

[soul reaper]

hmm, yeah I was looking over that, but it seems a lil too pricey for the features it offers. It does have to specifically made for gaming, but just so that it works well when doing so.

thinking about getting this:
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0231156
cheap but from what I reviewed on newegg suitable for both gaming and normal use.

edit: I just noticed that when I ordered my shipping phone number isn't the same as the one on my credit card. (home has two separate phone number)
will this affect me much?

[soul reaper]

I'll either get the comfort or the K-235G, both are suitable.

affect my order?
