ok i got it up and running. Thanks for the help.

I just got all my parts in and put it all together. When i go to power up there is no sign of any power. I don't think its my power supply because it got the sonata III case which comes with a very good PSU. Any tips for what i should do to find the problem?

Sweat a unanimous decision. I guess i will go for the first build. I did forget to add a keyboard and mouse into that price, but its still gonna be cheaper. And i got a couple of rebates i can do. Thanks for the comments.

OverClocking PC build Case- Antec Sonata III case with 500 wat PS Hard Drive- 500gb HD Optical drive- Dvd burner Video Card- EVGA geforce 8800 gt RAM- 4gb gskill MotherBoard- GIGABYTE GA-P35-DS3L CPU- Intel Pentium E2200 Allendale 2.2GHz CPU Cooler- Arctic Cooling Freezer 7...

Would that antec case be able to hold everything? The site doesn't have its dimensions listed and its a mini case. I gotta be sure it will all fit in before i do anything. I also found that the site for the case with the PSU is out of the PSU so i think i gotta find a different one.

Ty. You two were very helpful and i think i got my system together. Now just need to wait for my dads go ahead :).

That second build looks nice and i think would be doable. I have 1 question though about the case. I was really liking the one i had. Would the stuff not fit or something? And it was also cheaper. I would get that case with the PSU from corsair that you showed me earlier. If stuff wouldn't...

Wish i could but im already $100 over my limit. So i gotta cut back anywhere i can. Mostly thinking i gotta get a cheaper CPU and video card at this point.

yes i could try to overclock. Never done it before though so ide have to check into it. If my system will run as good though im fine with trying something new. And do you think the ds3r would be a good choice for my motherboard?

the price is including shipping i would hope. Might be possible to not include it though. Will that 450 watt PSU be able to power this system with an 8800gt video card in it?. If so then i will probly change that. No real reason for the IP35. Just picked one. Its mainly the Mobo and cpu...

the E8400 and Q6600 are a little out of my price range. The one i have picked seems like it will; still perform well.
