Building a computer with Adam Khoury, owner of http://www.developphp.com
Building a PC yourself is like playing with lego, easy and fun! My parts list was as follows:

Some folks asked to see my list and prices of what I bought, many different variations and PC types can be made. Make sure all components you buy are compatible with one another!!!

Corsair 4096MB PC10600 DDR3 1333MHz - $117.99
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit - $109.99
Corsair Hydro H50 CPU Liquid Cooler - $79.99
Diablotek RPM Series 950W ATX PSU - $109.99
XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB PCIe DDR5 XXX - $179.99
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition AM3 - $189.99
WD Caviar Green 1.5TB 64MB/SATA-3G $99.99
ASUS M4A89GTD PRO AMD 890GX Socket - $139.99
Cooler Master HAF 932 Full Tower Black Case - $154.99
Ultra Antistatic Wrist Strap - $6.99

Total = $1,189.90 USD

TIGERDIRECT.COM is where I bought the parts. You may want to boot up the first time without your Video Card installed if your mobo has onboard video, configure bios, add motherboard drivers, then install your Video Card. If mobo has no onboard video you can install the video card in too before turning on the power for the first time.

@SamsXPtuts - AMD recommends 550 Watts or "better" for ATI crossfire. I went with better than 550 watts to ensure all added components(I added after making video) are powered effectively to not cause strain in the system anywhere. My system would run fine with 600 watt PS... but I did not want to cut it close and be frugal with power. If I add things there is no worry about power consumption of the add-on components. To each his own, this system in the video is still a beast machine today(2 yrs)

950 watts is a little overkill :P

Nice video, I myself by this weekend will be putting together my own pc by myself for the first time. I know my way around a computer but always had help when putting it together back in the day, I agree with others though that 950watt psu is way over kill, heck I bought a radeon 6770 and amd 8120 and after looking it up still rated in being way safe with a 600watt psu, got a 650watt but changing it with my old and trusted one. I disagree with WD green HD they suck as main HD's

@TheJimmyman888 I believe that depends entirely on the water cooler. So it's hard to give you an accurate answer, it should tell you in the manual. Typically you change the liquid every 6-8 months, but this could be more or even less than that depending on the manufacturer. So please don't base how often you change the liquid on my answer. If you've miss placed the manual for your water cooling device, google will undoubtedly have the answer ;D

Where can you buy the desktop tower case for your mother board and other thing to go into and how much? And how much is windows 7?

Thanks for the video, the tips that displayed gave me information I didn't know about and now I look forward to building my own in the next 2 months.

950W PSU is a bit over kill for a Radeon HD 5770. 600W would be enough, but the 950W is future proof for quite a few years so when you come to doing a new build, you can import that component to the new build.

@domeee11 the metal keeps him from picking up and static, but technically if he clipped it on while charged it could possibly fry everything
