To build a new rig so I gotta forget at looking at everything else and focus on the pc. The thing is though I just get $200 a month from social security so moneys real tight.
The key features I'm looking for right now are a case, and motherboard. The rest of the stuff can wait so here is probably the order I'm going to buy the parts in.
Case - Looking to spend no more then $100, $50 at the most
MOBO - A nice cheap AMD $150 mobo would be nice, nothing too high end but something that'll last me a while. I don't care that it has USB 3.0 or anything like that I'd be happy if I could find an up to date board that uses DDR2 since my current PC has 8GB DDR2 which has no issues yes yes, I know Ram is pretty cheap now days but it's all about saving money
RAM - See above
Video Card - To be honest I don't need anything High end since I have my 360 maxed out with everything I need it to. Someone linked me a $70 video card that runs direct x 11 which would be fine for me...
So to sum it up I don't need a High end gaming rig, just one that'll last me another 5 years.
Lets see what else did I leave out?

i have some links you can check out ill send via skype but pretty much the build is pretty nice 415 shipped without graphics card as not sure what you prefer
6 core 3.3ghz
8gb ddr3 1333 ram
dvd/cd burner
asus mobo
pretty nice case comes with spots for i think up to 5-6 fans for cooling
730w psu
128gb ssd sata 3 550mb read and 520mb write and comes with bracket
with this and if you did rebates and say u already have a cd burner it would drop it down to like $380+ what ever graphics card you wanted
This build would be very nice and last awhile that is for sure and you can do other hds i prefer ssd so fast on boots and transfer and everything i cant ever go back to regular sata hds only for storage use now.
Also if you hold out on the sata drive usually you can get some nice deals for 128gb for like $70 and that but yea ill link u some stuff ha. _________________________________________________________ The one the only Scarface!!

Looks good and the fan and heat sink does come with the processor.
Pick up a tube of this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007 will be hard to say if you will be satisfied with the stock thermal compound that comes with the processor. _________________________________________________________
