Here's what I'm getting for a PC, saved in Newegg's wishlists for easy access.

I'm going to get Windows Vista Ultimate.

Here is what I already have bought:

I also have a PSU from CoolMax but I can't tell you which because I don't know exactly which it is (It's 400W) and I'm too lazy to go check the box.


Question:
Which order should I buy these parts in so that I can get my PC up and running barebones quickest, and preferably so I have a low chance of failure with my parts in the event I have to wait $500+ to be raised before they can officially be tested?

We can't get into that as it's in your private account section

I'd not bother getting your pc up as quick as possible...if there's something unavable (such as video card and i've got an onboard video card) i will wait until it comes in.
That way i can install the drivers in the correct order and not have the drivers sitting ontop of all my programs.

The way i install a new OS is...

1) OS
2) Chipset drivers (latest)
3) Video card drivers (latest)
4) Anything else i want.

Having the chipset and video card drivers as close to the OS level as possible...creates a more stable environment with slightly better performance.

IF you wait until you can buy it all you will probably get better parts and it could be cheaper.

Wish list details

There's the public link to it.
I have to get the video card first anyway, plus the processor, HDD, floppy drive, RAM, DVD drive, and OS disk before I'm even barebones, so obviously most of my hardware will be in first before I have anything running at all. I was just wondering what the most stragegic order would be to buy it in since I can't test any of it until it's all here, so that I can feel comfortable knowing that there's a likely chance the product isn't defective?
