Well If you are going to go from ebay it seems like you're not very knowledgeable about what exactly to do, assembling a computer can be a pretty challenging task and don't expect it to go smoothly 100%, however a safer alternative and as cheap would be to go through companies on ebay who offer you to configure your own computer they assemble and ship it too you, One of my friends did this and it was great. This way you can tell them what you want they'll assemble it and make sure everything is right and you have no hassle I think they also include a warranty.

For example.

well it's really not that hard to make a computer when you have video's to show,on my YouTube i favored all the video's to show how to make computers and i rather make my own computer so if it works great i could make more then sell them.

True, you can build a computer for $600 that is actually marketing price of $1200, making double your money.

Who the fuck are you talking to?

Did you see the quotes?
Some parts need to align, others not, like the Graphics card and Mother board.

STOP!

Don't buy that power supply - it's cheap and looks like it'll blow up in a matter of seconds.

Buy either OCZ, XFX or Corsair.

Also, that processor and motherboard will 100% not work together.

You're using an Intel CPU with an AMD motherboard - good luck.

How much are you looking to spend?
