Its nice but theres no way youre gonna fit the CPU onto that motherboard

(they are incompatible.... also, you should be able to nail that mobo for $75CAD ... $70 if you look around). Memory is a tad on the expensive side for no-name

1. You save if you're know what you want. Otherwise (a) you become and impulse buyer or (b) you get ripped off (c) go, have fun, and find out

2. Go and find out
