Everything listed has been purchased already. Total for the build has been approximately $550 so far. Just got tired of my laptop, and with Skyrim out, Diablo 3 coming out soon (hopefully), and just a general desire to build a rig since I have the money now, I decided to do this. A friend of mine (another Redditor) is going to help me with the build, as he has done it before. I still need a HDD and optical drive, any suggestions would be appreciated. I plan on using it for gaming and general use.
Thanks for checking it out!
