Unless your case comes with a good power supply you will need one. Also, unless the motherboard you choose has built-in video you will also need a video card. Most new motherboards include USB ports, sound, and LAN connections so you will not need the USB or sound card.
Just about to emabark on a new project to build my own PC. I have identified the following items that I migh need to have a first working model:
1) CASE 2) Processor 3) Heatsink & Fan 4) Momory module 5) Motherboard 6) Hard disk 7) CD/DVD 8) Floppy drive 9) USB card 10) Sound card
Is there anything else I need to put on this list? The idea is to build and upgrade it as and when new brain waves reaches me. Alternatively, are there any sites where there is a checklist for a modest PC?
Regards,
You might also want to look into additional fans for the case unless it already has them. A lot of cases have spots for attaching the fans but do not include them.
The best bet is to decide on the processor you want to use, then find a motherboard that will work with that processor. From there you will know what kind of memory to get and any additional cards you will need.
