Hello, as the title implies I am building my first computer. Recently my computer that I have had for 5 years died completely. It wont turn on...and I am a little short on funds so I thought I could go ahead and build one myself for a fraction of the cost of a factory built one.
I have all my parts picked out, Id just really appreciate it if someone could just take a look and make sure that all of this will go together and not explode or short circuit when I turn it on
The computer will be used for programming and gaming

I figured I can salvage the fan from my old pc to put in the side slot on the case.
Also, I am still living at home and my mom had bought a boxed copy of windows XP, will I be able to use this or will I have to buy a copy? Could I use the licensing codes from my old pc that came with windows XP?
