Is it just the core components you need, or do you need parts like a monitor, OS, keyboard, mouse, ect?

Spend the extra money on the motherboard and/or memory

What extra money, the build is actually $7 over my stated budget.

Oh. Sorry. Can't you just wait until you get more? I would be a shame to get the E6300 and not be able to overclock it a lot.

I don't have an "exact" budget set yet, it depends how much cash I have, and how much I get for my computer. I was just using $625 as a general estimate.

allright i think im staring to come around. i cant find any prebuilt comps i like at all. and i dont want to spend a fistfull to have some website with bad reviews to slap it together for me.

how hard are these to put together? i only put 1 desktop together in early 2000 and its been great (im on it now). will i have to flash any bios's or program any douchenuggets or anything coz that sounds hard. in short ... CANNI DO IT W/O SCREWING EVERYTHING UP?

If you start your own thread, it keeps things more organized and you will most likely be helped sooner.

 

[m0nk3ys1ms]

Don't hijack threads!!! Start your own.

It's not that big of a deal dude....
