Building Computer, Help Choosing Parts?

[mrcowdude20]

I am building a computer (desktop) and it will be used for email, internet, and some (tiny bit) of gaming. (I mean tiny...) Will this computer fit my needs, and will it all work?

My needs are as follows:
VGA and DVI Connections
WiFi
At Least 3 USB Ports

The case: Antec One Hundred Black ATX Mid Tower - $49.99
The power supply:Antec NEO ECO 520W Power Supply - $54.99
The motherboard: ASUS P8H61-M LGA 1155 Micro-ATX Intel Motherboard - $74.99
The CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1Ghz Quad Core Processor - $189.99
The memory: G Skill 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333 RAM - $29.99
The storage: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 7200 RPM Hard Drive - $59.99
The graphics card: AMD Radeon HD 6750/Nvidia GeForce GTS 450 - $105.99/$109.99
The optical drive: ASUS 24x CD/DVD Burner - $20.99


The total: $590.92
( I want to put Linux on it, but would Linux have wifi? )

Looks decent. A cheaper AMD rig would do just fine too though, you don't need the power of i5. Most desktop mobos don't have WiFi in them so most likely you will have to get a USB WiFi adapter. Shouldn't be more than 20$ though.

The new A8 AMD chips and F1 motherboards will give you excellent performance all around. The APU has decent discreet level HD 6xxx built into the CPU. Cheap.

What do you want to get out of this build, mrcowdude20?

If you just want a cheap machine to run Linux or Windows, you can pick up a 15 inch Dell laptop for less money than your parts list above.

Remember to budget for Windows (unless you're planning on just playing Linux games, whatever they are!).

With the core i5 in that system, you might want a larger power supply. I am running an i7 with a 750w power supply, but that's because I play graphic-intensive games. At least a 650 would be ideal. Here's my 750 just to see where you might be looking price-wise. Chose this primarily for good reviews (they are part of OCZ) and the 7 year warranty.
