Thats what I want...will this work out? If not, then what recommendations do you think i should get? If I'm missing something plz tell me!

PS: I heard you have to ground yourself before touching any hardware...how do i do that? Can I just like, wear rubber gloves and build it like that?
Ty!

None of your links work. They sell anti-static wrist straps at most computer stores for $5-10. I personally just frequently touch grounded unpainted metal frequently during the build. I think that rubber gloves would actually produce more static electricty than your bare hands. The CPU is what you will want to be most cautious with. What kind of budget are you working with?

ahh, so rubber gloves are a bad idea. well, the only thing that is way out of the picture is the gfx card. everything is else is around the middle-range. I just wanna make it last for a couple of years. And, I'm also trying to get ready for Crysis. Thats why I chose the gfx card.

Unless you need your computer right now, if your planning on building for crysis I recommend waiting. The game is to be released on november 16 and around that time Nvidia will be releasing their new high end graphics cards. Also don't get a rosewill PSU.

well, I want to be able to play the game smoothly on the medium settings. I dont wanna go all out for high everything. and yeah i heard that the 8900 GTS is coming out soon but thats way too much money for me.

And, why not get a rosewill PSU?
