You won't get very far without a Hard Drive; CPU cooler, case fans, A DVD-RW drive, a PSU, and a video card.

So, no. None of those parts work at all without 5/6 of these items.
Seconded lol.

Try to get an e8600 instead of a 8500.
EDIT: NEVER MIND I FOUND MY PERFECT CASE. THIS ONE

RAIDMAX SMILODON ATX-612WBP Black 1.0mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Foldout MB Computer Case With 500W Power Supply

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156062

now can someone tell me if this would work well with my above specifics
A raidmax? May God have Mercy.....if you get it, throw away that PSU and get yourself a decent name brand
bad caps alert, bad caps alert, bad caps alert, bad caps alert
Squall-Leonhart, Mammery Gland Specialist and Capacitor Freak, Forum Noob Rapist, is definitely right
wait. what are you guys talking about. bad caps. wtf. brand? what can someone explain
if its made in japan, its top quality! if its made in china, or taiwan, then it uses below quality parts which don't live for more then a year on average.

www.badcaps.net
well then how come there 894 top quality reviews. i think u guys are making a mistake or can you link me to a different one thats really good too.
Reviewers are idiots.

When hardware starts to screw up they usually think its a video card or mainboard failing, when its usually the power supply.

I like the cooler master 690

roomy for a mid tower fits all graphics card till GTX 275 ( maybe the GTX 285 too )
wait can someone answer these questions. i am choosing the nzxt case but i am not sure about a few things

1. Will a 500 watt power supply be suitable for a system like this?

2. Do i need to worry about adding extra cooling (such as liquid or anything like that)

3. Also can someone verify if these if i could purchase this
