Well, I got everything but the CD burner.

Now, for a quick lesson.

All electronic equipment runs on smoke. This is a non-renewable resource, and electronic equipment is very efficient with its recycling. Releasing the smoke causes that bit of equipment to become totally useless.

Now guess what I did.

In my build, I did NOT let any of the smoke out. Tomorrow when I get home, I'll install the last part (will arrive tomorrow) (and being careful not to release the smoke). Then I will go into the bios and start tinkering. Finally, I will start to install my OS's

Not to ridicule , but why did you go with amd over intel?
