First of all, I have not built a computer since the early 2000s. Let's assume that I'm a Bronze-league computer builder (basically a moron) who knows just enough about computers to assemble them with step-by-step instructions. :D Anyway, the price has dropped to $604.92, which probably doesn't include shipping. What about my chosen processor? Should I get a quad core for future games, or will it be a waste since Starcraft only uses two cores? Also, how do I link to my wishlist? I thought that adding the items to my wishlist would allow me to share a simple link with others so they can see my build. And finally, you suggested a micro ATX mobo for me. Would that work for an ATX mid tower case? Or should I get a small case? Again, assume that I'm a total newbie when answering. | ||

mATX will fit in an ATX case. Newegg's wishlist system is pretty stupid. But ya that gives us the ID which allows us to view it (I just figured this out lolol): http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=19508166 | ||

Im posting this and have done my little research on my phone. Ive built a computer in the past but ended up with an overpriced, suboptimal machine. Ive made a wish list on newegg with 10 things I need. I have a keyboard, mouse, and speakers already. But I do have to include an OS and monitor, so I know my budget is going to have to sstretch. Im currently at 851, but I.need to bring this down as much as possible without sacrificing much performance. https://secure.newegg.com/WishList/MySavedWishDetail.aspx?ID=18588132 Im aiming to play SC2 anc D3 on.max settings with a well playable Skyrim as well. Thanks in advance For reference: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=18588132 This burner is $5 less and has free shipping: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136240 Not sure why you care so much about a burner. Capstone is better for the same price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182066 You don't need a modular unit for such a low-end configuration because you're basically going to be using every cable... except for maybe a strand of molex and SATA that can easily be hidden. Seasonic S12II 620 for $60 (w/ promo code SEASONIC15, ends 2/8) is also good if you are looking to lower the total: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096 Get the Coolermaster HAF 912 for $10 less: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233 Get Crucial 2x4gb kit for $2 less: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148476 I'm not a fan of refurbished components. Get a HIS Radeon HD6850 instead for the same price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161384 or Gigabyte GTX 460 for the same price: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125412 If you want to lower your total further and open to buying from another retailer (free shipping for orders over $50), you can get a Coolermaster Elite 370 for $32 (~$30 less than HAF912): http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=55447 and a Seagate Barracuda 500GB for $80: http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=63468&promoid=1012 | ||

EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=58347&vpn=01G-P3-1561-AR&manufacture=eVGA $232.68 Intel Core i7 2600K http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354587 $279.99 ASRock P67 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157230 $89.99 Hitachi 500GB http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=57878&promoid=1141 $59.99 Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182032 $59.99 G.SKILL Ripjaws http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314 $46.99 Coolermaster Hyper 212 http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=41337&promoid=1141 $22.99 TOTAL $792.62 I have a problem thinking that microcenter is lying about the price cause an i7 2600k for 279.99 that is really cheap but whatever. Do I need to change anything like my motherboard or get a better power supply. I already have a case so i didnt add it here and I also have a dvd I can use. Please review my build and tell me what i have wrong or what i have right THANK YOU AGAIN I LOVE YOU GUYS Also if you can find these product in a better price please hit me up. Hopefully it not a scam. | ||

That Ripjaws kit is overpriced... memory can be had for less than $40. GTX 560 Ti for $253 is overpriced. If you want lifetime warranty than get this -AR model for $240: http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=58347&promoid=1141 $280 for a 2600k at MC is regular pricing... | ||

A Radeon HD6770 can handle extreme at 1600x900 smoothly and even 1080p. Since you were originally planning to spend $130 on the GPU. You could get a Radeon HD6850 for $140 if you wish: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125353 Differences can be seen here (6850 is equivalent to a GTX 460): http://www.techspot.com/review/305-starcraft2-performance/page4.html | ||
