Due to some appreciated honest advice, I've decided to scrap the project until I have some extra income to fuck around with, for now I'll design and buy a prebuilt. Appreciate the time

This. I (almost) never use any other sites. It has good prices, and is very informative about the products.Mr.Pandah said:
Alright since we have a couple sites to go off of, is there any compatability issues I should worry about; I'm new to this building computer things, example being, does any RAM snap onto any motherboard or does one need to keep to a certain brand?
Don't build this yourself.Lost In The Void said:
Judging by the fact that you are asking that question you need to do a LOT more research first.

Ok, what you'll want is a cheap, CHEAP build to practice on for your first build. do not buy any expensive parts >_>'.
When it comes to compatibility, it's not the brand names that really matter anywhere. You only need to make sure the slot the stuff goes in supports the stuff you're putting in.Lost In The Void said:
For example, a motherboard with an AM3+ socket and a processor with AM3+ socket, they're a match. A processor with Socket939 instead wouldn't fit. Once you start looking components over, if you have even the least bit of common sense you'll notice a pattern with the same stuff popping up everywhere, and then the jigsaw puzzle just starts to unravel itself with all the pieces falling together.
