Hi Joseph,

Congratulations on your decision to build a computer. You are in for a very 
good learning experience and a fun time, as you have experienced, in part, 
from your upgrades.

Two things on the link you provided. First, the link is 'wrapped' which 
requires it to be copied and pasted in the address bar to utilize it. You 
can get around this with long URLs by going to TinyURL.com 
(http://tinyurl.com/) to convert it to a short URL. Or, better yet, add 
TinyURL to your browser tool bar where it'll be handy to use at any time. 
And secondly, the link is to your personal "wish list" which takes anyone 
else to an account sign-in page. Therefore, without your sign in 
information, the link is useless. You wouldn't want to provide that 
information, so I suggest you resubmit your list of other components as 
separate links for each item.

Also, provide more information on what you plan to use from the present 
computer; type of case and its features, RAM type and amount, etc. And what 
about your budget for this project? Cost, in most cases, will influence the 
recommendations you get.

Sven Swanson, Sr.
