Hi, I'm 15 and going to try to build my first computer. I have very little money so I'm trying to get the best I can for my bucks. Just need a little advice on compatibility issues. Will these work together?

First off welcome to AD. Everything you picked out will work together nicely. I didnt go as far as looking for alternatives based on cost, though. There may be a little better machine that you can build for just a little bit more money, but I dont keep up with the current pricing and whatnot. Hopefully ther eis someone here who just built a machine with the same amount of money. They can compare components with you so you can get an idea of an alternate build.

Good luck on your first build!

Hey Auslander,
Sticks is a kid that lives a few houses down from me. He is working on his first build. He doesn't have a computer at home so I've been letting him use mine for research. I've been helping him out but he pretty much did it all on his own. I told him about this site.
I've had very little time for the computer lately (did ya miss me?). My wife and I are seperated right now so I spend alot of time at work to keep busy.
Sticks is a good kid, so give him good advice. As everyone here always does.
Later, hogan

yeah those part will work out fairly nice together. I have a AMD Sempron 3000+ it's a pretty good processor. Plus that Ram speed isn't that bad either. good luck with that. hope things go well.
