So it's a $600 build now?

>PSU is a bit expensive for that a build, there are decent tier ones in the $40-50 range

>get the western digital blue with 7200 RPM

>better to pair an mATX mobo with a smaller case

>should probably not be convincing others to go with larger cases if they won't be using all those drive bays, etc - they'd be paying for more and it's gonna look awfully empty

>get an 8gb stick under $35

20$ over a budget but I went with a 128GB SSD for the OS.
