Heading down to Microcenter on Monday, if you've got any ideas for increasing those BPBs, I'd appreciate hearing them! :)
EDIT: The CPU+mobo is a package deal at MC, just for clarification. Oh, and this build is for a friend, he's already got an HDD and disk drive, so that's why those aren't there.
