Alright, after hours of research, here is a list of parts that i've found to build a comp.
Mobo/CPU (SFX Chip included???)
http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4304795
Case (2 fans included) (350W Power Supply included???)
http://shop3.outpost.com/product/3452643
Heatsink
http://shop3.outpost.com/product/3860407
HDD
http://shop3.outpost.com/product/3966608
Memory
http://shop3.outpost.com/product/4198733
CD-ROM Drive
http://shop3.outpost.com/product/3625535
Your basic computer would probably only have the essentials:
Case -
Mobo -
CPU -
Power Box -?
Video Card -
Hard Drive -
CD/DVD Drive -
Memory -
SFX Card -?
Heatsink -
"-" = accounted for
"-?" = unsure if accounted for
+I only have those 5 parts listed up there b/c those are the only ones that I feel I need.
+I wasn't sure about this but I think some of the parts come included with other parts (ex: Case combo comes with 2 fans). That is one reason why I'm posting this here. I'm not sure if some things are included or if I have to buy them separately and if I have to buy more parts to build this comp.
+Another reason for posting here is that I need some input on whether or not these parts are good or not. I tried looking for parts that would work great at a cheap price.
:) Any help would be appreciated.

http://www.xoxide.com/ They have some nice cases.
The video card depends on your budget. If your on a big one, get a Radeon 9800 pro

For the love all thats good and holy PLEASE invest in a different PSU than the generic POS they give in that case. The rest looks fine if your building on a tight budget. The semprons are pretty good value chips.

Case (Power Supply Included?)
Fudin ATX-268WUP 350W Blue Mid Tower ATX Case
Hard Drive
Western Digital 200GB WD2000JD Serial ATA 150 (SATA/150) 8MB Buffer - Bare Hard Drive
Heatsink
