Is this all the parts I would need for a computer, and a reasonable price for it? (sorry for bad photos, taken on my iPhone)

I might have forgotten something.
I already have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard. I also have speakers.

If I do buy a computer, that's about all the money I could spend on it.

What's your budget - I'll see if I can do something better.

That PSU looks like it'll explode.

Enermax, Corsair, XFX, OCZ, Seasonic or Be-Quiet - only brands I'd ever buy whatever the budget.

Get the Corsair CX430.

Also, what are you using it for - 8GB might be an overkill.

I was planning to use it for a sever/gaming computer at the same time.

My budget is about $350, maybe a little more if required.

I don't know, that's why I posted this... I know it's cheap, but I don't have the money for a better one...

For the price, I dont even think it will run a server. Go with 4gb and get a more expensive Mobo(motherboard)

$477 for a decent gaming PC with 8GB of RAM.

I changed some stuff, and my friend who builds all of his computers, says this is a good build.

It's fine, except the power supply.

Diablowupinyourfacetek is not what you want powering your system.

Otherwise it's fine.

My friend has some high wattage ones lying around his house... So I have free backups :)

I'm going to try to buy it after I get the permission from my parents...

If a power supply blows there's a large risk it'll take the whole of your system with it.

A free backup PSU isn't much use if your diabloshit blows up your motherboard.

If it's got to be ~$15 then get the Rosewill.

Skimp on anything but the PSU in my books.

Is this right? This is the newegg shopping cart page.
It it a reasonable price for what I'm getting, and will this work for a long time, at a fast speed?

Yeah, iPhone 4 has a large resolution.

If your adamant not to go with a quality PSU then so be it, Rosewill is probably your best bet.

It's not going to be a fast computer, it's a dual core.

8GB of RAM is no different to 4GB unless you do a lot of After Effects and similar stuff.

Maybe get 4GB RAM and a better PSU?

I do use After Effects...

I'll ask my friend what kind he has and what wattage and see if I might just not even buy one.

Just because it's dual-core doesn't mean that it's slow...
Would it be THAT much slower?

4GB of RAM = $60...
8GB of RAM = $80...
I think the 8GB is a better deal

I already have a 1080p monitor and a mouse and keyboard.
I probably also need to get a wireless card for it too...

Yeah, it'll be quick.

Get an SSD when you can though.

SSDs are too pricy for me...
I would get one if I had more money... :/
I have $338 right now... So I need to get a little more before I can buy this computer...
