Aderi's Intro and HELP!

Hey peeps! There honestly too much information to put here, so I'll keep it brief.

First of all, I am a college student who is about to finish school with a major called Biomedical Engineering. It deals with creating medical devices and stuff...sounds cool, but the more I look at it the more I think there isn't really a valid industry out there. regardless, I am not entering my 5th year and I will graduate in the fall. However, I sorta don't know what I'll be doing afterwards...I've started to apply to get a master's degree...but I'd hugely prefer to just start working. Any advice on which I should do? The MS means a higher salary and more options yet going with just the BS saves me time and money. Please help decide this poor girl's future!

I've been playing video games ever since I started college, and RPing for about 4 of those years. I started off with basic multiplayer games like Super Smash Brothers, but then I started getting involved in RPG's and MMOs. I've only been around TERA since earlier last week, but so far I am LOVING IT! I am a HUGE fan of RPs, though I find I can't stand it when people god-mod and I prefer adventure scenes over socializing. I've never played an RP in a video game, so forgive me if I am a tad noobish. I usually can be found online by the same profile name on RPC CHAT (just google it).

However, now I need Yall's help!

Latelly I've been having some computer issues....heat build up, memory issues, and video card fails...so I've decided (with the help of my computer savvy brother) to start and BUILD my own PC! (yay!) However, even though I looked up how to physically put the pieces together, I am sorta at a loss when it comes to picking out the individual pieces..(video cards, processor, motherboard, etc). So with that said, ANY advice would be welcome! Even though I am an engineering major...I sorta feel technology stupid :(

Actually..since my computer seems to suck more and more every day, I was thinking about starting to build something over the next month. Money isn't TOO big of a problem, but I'd like to keep the final build at something under $1500.

How do these parts sound?

Get a Solid state drive. for your system os and a hard drive for your games. It's a lot better to use since the system files load faster.

Also your graphics card you want is out of stock.

Good build though, what about your case? fans? powersupply?
