btw additional thing you would need is an ESD kit, as you could probably be oblivious to the damage static electricity just from walking across carpet can cause to the components, so make sure you invest in an anti-static wristband, or and ESD kit when your building your pc :)

No ESD (Electro Static Discharge) will not cause your pc to blow up. How ever if you do not have an ESD wrist band or simillar you run the risk of damaging components when you handle them. Best to be safe than sorry.

You cant just rush into building a PC first you have to think:

  • What is it for?
  • What peripheral devices do you intend to use (i.e how many USB connections you are going to need etc)
  • Are you bothered about what case it will be in (If not you can buy the case to fit the mobo instead of vice versa) etc
There is a lot to think about, you dont just go an buy components without any consideration whether they are compatible or will fit. So your making it hard for anyone to give advice when your being so vague.
