Your friend sent you specs for a balls to the walls gaming rig.

What are you using it for?

If just a standard daily use PC that thing is way overkill and honestly not well thought out.

$115.00 Blu-Ray? Why?

$189.00 for a 1000 watt power supply? There are not enough high draw components in there to warrant that massive a PSU. If you add a couple of $300.00 graphics cards you still would not need it.

I-7 3ghz processor? Again, how heavy are you going to use this PC. That's a high end processor and likely way overkill.

Even $39.00 for a fan controller is silly, willing to bet that MOBO has on board fan speed control which you manage through software / bios.

First determine what you will use the PC for then if you really want to build one for the experience got to Microcenter.com or newegg.com and look into their Bare Bones kits.

You can get a bundle with all the components you need and shopping by price point is easy because it's a single bundled price.
