okay not to beat a dead horse but here is another set up i sort of took the suggestions given in this thread and found products at microcenter which is located close to me so this way i could get all the components locally let me know what you think thanks.

Okay here is the final build I went with Newegg except for the case because I case is cheaper at microcenter so I am going to buy it locally. I decided to skip the separate heat sink and fan b/c the cpu comes with a heat sink. thanks for all your help, hopefully will be building this next weekend let me know what you guys think.
