Do I need anyhting else for my new rig?

Question

I'm upgrading my computer soon, probably this weekend. I have a Celeron D processor, heat sink, CD drives, floppy drive, hard drive and 2G memory already.

I'm getting the following items:

Board:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...

Card:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...

Power:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...

Case:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/...

Do I need anything else/ will this all work together fine?

P.S: Does the board have integrated sound or do I need toget a sound car, too (first custom computer, here, so I have no idea)?

Answer 1

No links worked, so we can't look at the parts. Just make sure the motherboard supports the type of RAM you already had. What that last guy said about TigerDirect is simply not true, they are a highly respected online website, in the area of computer parts they are second only to newegg. If you want me to help you further, email or instant message me with working links.

Answer 2

Yes actually, a new site to get your products. Tigerdirect sells alot of refurbished items witout telling the consumer. Go to newegg. The prices are comparable. Now as far as the rig (NONE OF YOUR LINKS WORKED BY THE WAY), go with a mother board that has the nvidia chipset and 2 pci-e x16 slots. a processor in the intel core 2 family, a power supply with at least 600w, a full tower with lots of air flow, a creative labs x-fi sound card, minimum of 2gigs ram, a western digital raptor, a dvd drive, and preferably 2 video cards connected by sli. Hope this helped you with your decision and good luck.

I had to edit this answer in response to mysticman44. If a company is so good why are they NOT a member of the better business bureau and why do they recieve this:

Nature of Business

The company offers computers, computer equipment and other electronics via mail order catalog, website and shopping service with infomercials.

Customer Experience

Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau due to a pattern of routinely responding slowly to complaints. Although the company resolved the complaints, it was not within the Bureau's time frame.

Complaints allege customers are led to believe they are buying new, Brand Name computer systems, parts and other products with either a 90-day, or 1 year warranty. Complainants allege they are receiving generic, defective and refurbished items and only a 30-day warranty with the option to purchase the 1-year warranty. Customers who purchase the warranty also experience difficulty in getting return phone calls to get the problems fixed or replaced. Customer are told they may return the items for replacement, but they will need to pay again for the replacement and will credited back when the item is returned and received by the company.

Some of the complaints have issues with the advertised rebate, both the catalog and web site have numerous offers for items with a mail-in rebate. Upon receiving the products the rebate application is not included in the package. Customers are told the rebate application is on the website and customers are required to comply with the program and submit paperwork that they never received. Many are denied because the product they have purchased does not have the advertised rebate, the rebate has expired, and some rebates are only good if the item is purchased with a computer. Many customers feel they have been victims of bait and switch, and are unable to return the products because the package has been open. Customers who have contacted customer service with concerns have problem with getting return calls, emails, and experience unresponsiveness and unconcerned customer service staff.

When evaluating complaint information, please consider the company's size and volume of business. The number of complaints filed against the company may not be as important as the type of complaints and how the company handled them.

The Bureau processed a total of 1184 complaints about this company in the last 36 months, our standard reporting period. Of the total 1184 complaints in the last 36 months, 565 of those were closed in the last 12 months.
