I will be buying these parts on Friday/Saturday, so if prices change, I'll update them and such. I'll dive right in, and I'll explain why i chose my parts, and my planned upgrades. I will note that I am using my old Kingston 4gb 1066mhz untill Christmas, then I'll get something nicer. Also, my hard drive and ssd will be used from my old system to this. Aswell as my disc drive. I bought a new copy of Windows 2 weeks ago, cause amazon was selling it for $67 so I quickly picked that up. Okie, lets begin. -

CPU: I dont really think I need to explain why I chosen this cpu on this budget...Yea, pretty self explanitory.
Motherboard: Isn't the best, but since I dont plan on overclocking, I think it will work well
Case: LOVE THIS CASE. Great price with all its features. Very good looking case
PSU: Pretty sure this psu will be able to hand my upgrades.
UPGRADES:
As I said before, 8 gb of ram. My last upgrade is a 7850, to replace my 630. How does this build look so far? Any adjustments?
