I made a few changes here and there. first is the CPU, its slightly slower @15% but almost HALF the price. power supply was replaced with a better known unit, added a HDD for mass storage. GPU upgraded to the Super varietal not much faster now but the extra RAM will keep it relevant longer and allow higher settings.. all this and its about the same price.

for the gist, is that 13% worth an extra 50% in price?

Wow thank you so much. That is amazing. I truly appreciate it!!! So if I put all of this together then all I need to do is get a mouse, keyboard, monitor and put windows on it and it should work fine?
