I like this build because he does not like mail in rates and the base total is not that high above his budget. Please if you prefer another build , please do have have 100 dollars in mail in rebates along with it just to shorten the price. 


What else is there to say i am to n00b to understand computers so yea...

Your initial build is no good that motherboard is too weak for that CPU. That board could take a quad core at most if you want to keep things sane and safe.

Intel Inside. Overweight guy in his 30's outside.
