Ok thanks for the advice guys, unfortuneatly I don't completely understand it lol. So I don't need a sound card for sound? This just shows my ignorance, I figured if I wanted sound I needed a sound card. So I'll be sure to take that off the list. However will music sound a lot better with a sound card?

What would be a good motherboard for what I need? I really don't get what you guys were talking about with SLI and overclocking or whatever. Also what would be a good choice of ram? I would like at least a gig of ram, plus the ability to upgrade at a later point.

And finally would this be a good video card choice?

# Model #: 7800GT
# Item #: N82E16814170088

that's one that came up when I searched for nvidia

Edit: I checked about the power supply for the case, it appears it doesn't have one; thanks for pointing that out. I looked at a million cases and they all seemed to come with a power supply so I figured this one would too.
