Never really built a computer, so yeah need help! Like LOTS!
you can always check game requirements at canirunit.com
windows 7 unless you elect to utilize touchscreen capibilities
sound and networking will be included in the motherboard - i wouldnt suggest you try to run it via wifi unless you plan to use an external antenna or if its close to the router (in that case hardwire).
dont overclock. stay stock. your knowledge of systems is lacking and a properly overclocked system requires constant maintenance. HUGE price increase to properly utilize overclocking features.
Simple tweaks with things like memory (not overclocking but locking in latency times) can increase your pc's responsiveness a considerable amount.
Also check blackviper.com and properly configure your operating system - preman pc's load 80-110 processes - default winblows will load 50-70 processes. your machine will only require 30-40 processes running (black viper explains all that).
these minor tweaks will allow you to further utilize the potential of your system.
Monitor's are rather inexpensive and shouldnt be a problem picking one out.
READ READ READ - read as many user reviews as you can about these products you pick before purchasing - never rely on one users experiences and reviews.
there are tonnes of youtoob video's that will explain step by step how to do this.
just a tip - make sure you tie up your wiring properly and ensure your air travel path is clear of obstructions.
