All opinions are appreciated, as long as they are on topic and not rude. You get the deal.

Not including my money (My Mom is like that. I'll offer in my money, maybe she even mentions using it, and then she'll suddenly exclude me from it completely) we have like $450, and Dad is giving more. So... Any final suggestions?

these parts from Ethan?

The parts have no assurance of working together, which is why I'd go with a pre-built. I'd like incompatibility to be a refundable aspect, instead of extra costs for replacement.

Help getting a PC that can run Portal 2 and such whilst not being over $500? (Maybe a few dollars over)

Edit: I just realized: Ethan didn't include a Sound card in his set up, huh? Dang it. This is far too complicated.

They work together. If you don't trust me, I'll send someone like Inverted to this topic.
Also, 99% of motherboards include inbuilt 8 channel sound (7.1). The last time I had to buy a sound card for a built was 1998 lol.

I already decided on the pre-built. The initial costs are pretty big for yours... How can I get the shipping costs of it all together? It'd probably be less, but I wouldn't know how.

You're sure the case has mounts and such for all of this? The proper screws and such to attach?

I'm calling Backup.

Well okay, but we have the doors checked by top guard. One of them had a laser installed behind his iris to startle chimps.

hi

Get an HD103SJ.

Also if you managed to find Windows for cheaper you could be able to afford a Phenom II x4.

That one is better than the other? It's $5 cheaper, and $5 off if I get today/tomorrow...

I may have done better. I don't really like to skimp on the PSU or mobo though.

If you were to swap the above build's Motherboard and RAM for the below ones, it'd be $10 more, but well worth it for the better brand motherboard.
