Ok, so I have all of my parts. Any recommendations on a decent guide on how to put it all together?

This is awesome. Thanks

One more thing. When I first started posting about building a PC I was told not to purchase Windows because I should be able to get it free. What is this about?

So I have finished my first ever build! Everything seems to be running good. Is there anything I need to check or keep an eye on? I know I should be watching temps. What program is goon recommended for temps?

Thanks for the suggestions. I do have one other issue that may be relevant to the thread.

The past few nights I've been leaving the PC on to download stuff(on DSL) but at some point the PC freezes, screen still up but not able to do anything. Have to hard reset. It looks to be around 1 to 2 hours after I stop using. I have tried changing the power options to performance but that didn't work.

I think it must be some setting that kicks in after going idle for too long but I just can't nail it down. Any ideas?
