Any chance you live relatively near a Microcenter location? For $179.99+tax you could get a i5-4670K instead of the i5 listed in your link.

I've been rocking an i7 920 Build for about 5 years now, and I've been having a bad case of the upgrade bug this month, so I would like some opinions on the idea of a new Haswell build. Usage: programming/development, gaming (FFXIV mostly), basic Web surfing and streaming, and limited...

Hey everyone, I'm doing a new build for a friend, and was hoping for some feedback before giving the green light. This PC will be primarily used for watching movies, basic photo editing, some video encoding, Internet surfing and downloads. No gaming intentions, unfortunately. I know this build...
