Its a budget $525 build. My monitor res is unfortunately 1440x900. My usage is LOL and WOW:MOP with light netflix and hulu watching. I DONT PLAY Games like CRYSIS OR BF4. So its a light gaming build. I just want to be able to play at high settings on both games with smooth gameplay at low shadows. I dont plan to overclock and dont want to crossfire if I dont have too. My build requires; CPU, Memory, Storage, PSU, Case, OS, Motherboard (It's set to zero because the website isn't applying the CPU and Motherboard Combo, but once applied to comes out to about free) Any and all help is much appreciate.

The spec says 1.5 volt RAM so no point using the older 1.65 volt models even if they are cheap

I would also use Win 8 . The license lets you transfer it to another computer at some later time . Win 7 is locked to the first mb

Its easy to add a start button
