Okay, i have this:
Mobo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E1681313151 7
Processor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E1681910352 9
GFX card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E1681413315 0
Operating System
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E1683710206 2
Northbridge chipset cooler(mobo has history of failing fan)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E1683511821 4
CPU Fan
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E1683518511 0
Case w/ power supply
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E1681114400 1
HDD
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E1682214810 5
and all of the CD's and wires to connect everthing. Do i just put it all together and put the windows cd in the cd drive? i have a cd and dvd drive connected from my old emachines T2958. and after i get windows installed, do i just run the cd's for my mobo when windows detects new hardware? Also, my mobo dosent have any onboard video, so when i am done installing my mobo i just turn off the computer and plug in the GFX card and run the CD? I am sorry for asking all of this, i am very new at building computers.

yes you do. dont you have to change the settings so the programs dont fight over which part of the processor to use or something?

Hm...I don't think that's the case...as I know, the OS takes care of all this managing programs stuff...and with the new release of Windows Vista, there shouldn't be any problem managing dualcores.

Unless you're thinking about OCing the processor, you shouldn't have to worry about tweaking the DualCores in BIOS.

Oh well me15ter, i already got this and its on the way so worrying about dual-core is a little pointless now, dont you think? And ill probably go dual-core for my next build, so i'll have some questions then. Thanks.
