1. Screw the motherboard spacers into the case.
2. Place the motherboard ontop of the spacers and then put the screws into the motherboard spacers.
3. Place your components into the PC (everything: ram, cpu, gpu, fans, hard drive, cd drives, etc)
4. Put your PSU in and begin to wire everything together( make sure you route your power wires through the back of the case so most of the wires run under the motherboard area to allow for proper flow of air.

That's pretty much all it takes really, as long as you know how to do specific things like remembering to put thermal grease onto the processor and then putting the heatsink on and shit.

how can i figure out how many watts i need to satisfy the needs of the comp parts?

Both Nvidia and AMD list the wattages of their products on their respective sites, along with the recommended system watts. I really wouldn't settle for anything less than 650 watts. Decent graphics cards are pretty power hungry. that plus the 125 watts or so of power that's going to be used for the processor along with energy needed for drives (cd & hard drive) and fans you're looking at needing a pretty beefy PSU which is why I personally recommend 650watt or more.

nvidia gt 440
An asrock motherboard
8 gb ram
500 wat psu
Are enough for a mid range pc
The hardest part of making pc are the wires of psu
Then others are easy
Just plug it in and thats all

@iverson954360 this good?

@iverson954360

SLi means you bridge two or more Nvidia cards together to increase graphics performance. You do have the option to SLi with the motherboard you chose, so if you want you can have two 460s SLi'd together and you would have a pretty banging gaming computer. But if not then the set up you have isn't that bad. Although I recommend you spend a few days or weeks on slickdeals.net finding good deals for each part you want, you might be able to get that system or a system like it for even cheaper.

And eh i dunno,
like i said this isnt gonna be my main comp, so i dont wanna get it that good, so i dunno...
should i SLi 2 cheaper video cards or just get 1 higher end one?

But that's based on whether you're actually going to game very much on your pc, if not then don't bother with even the 460. But you did say you needed some decent if not good graphics performance which is why i recommended the 460.
