Honestly I see most people just going to pcpartpicker and setting the filter to the recommended requirements and hitting go.

My way was much more imaginative ... and illegal.

Hide in a refrigerator in Best Buy till they close.

Sorry, parts must be sourced from Amazon or Newegg.

 

[alextheblue]

The only problem with PCPartPicker is that you have to click on the links to see if the price given (especially on Newegg) is a sale price. So you have to look at Newegg's regular price, and if it is a reduced price then you have to override the price and/or switch vendors. Half of the submissions violate the rule against sale pricing, and it's an easy mistake to make - PCPP just shows X price, it only really differentiates rebate pricing.

All quality parts; from 128MB Cache SATA III HDD to 80 PLUS Bronze Active PFC PSU, with all parts compatible (motherboard requiring another AM4 CPU for BIOS update though) and upgradable (750W PSU, $5 more from 630W, RAM x 2 slots, up to 32GB, and more).

Newegg total $441.97 before tax & shipping + Amazon total before tax & shipping $55 = $496.97.

I made the same mistake...but when I did, there weren't several posts already there informing me that this wasn't the correct thread. You could have read any of those and known before the contest ended.
