    PC I built on monday for cheap!

    So this last Monday I made a trip to my local micro center in hopes of building a new computer for just gaming, just the main computer for now, and the gpu in 2 weeks when I get paid. Haven't quite decided which gpu to go for, or how much I am going to budget in for it, but it will definitely be a nice one.

    The build-

    Cpu- I5 2500k (Wish I would have spent a bit more and gone with the 2600k)
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072

    Motherboard- Biostar tz77a
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138353&Tpk=tz77a

    SSD- OCZ agility 3 60gb
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227725

    Power supply- Cooler Master 650W
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171052

    Case- Thermaltake v3
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811133094

    Ram- Crucial 8GB (2 X 4GB) Dual channel 1333Mhz
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148476

    Total came out to $420 and some change, I have a $10 rebate on the case, and a $10 rebate on the SSD, taking the build so far to about $401.

    Edit:
    Forgot to add my pictures lol, please forgive my unprofessional photo shoot.

    Looking like a good computer. And do you plan on going nVidia for your GPU or another company?

    That is a sweet PC mate, keep us updated to what you add to it and also as the user said above you shouldn't keep it on the carpet.

    Thank you, and I will defiantly keep this thread updated, waiting on my paycheck for now lol.

    And yes, I know I shouldn't have it on the carpet, it was just there the first two days I had it until I found somewhere to put it, and also so I could take some pictures of it.
