You should get a 600wat+ power supply, a 530wat power supply might not cut it.

i crossed it out because it was a JOKE
JESUS CHRIST PEOPLE
anyway bumpity bump bump.
based on the mixed reactions i've been getting i'm not really sure if this is a good parts list. Can someone whip up something on newegg, if they have spare time? :o

Just order the parts from Newegg and build it yourself. Why are you not giving us specific parts? Certain brands are much better than others in terms of quality. You could do better for that price either way.

Dude, these are all the parts he gave me. :/
When on newegg it gave multiple results and I just found the best ones suited to the names.
Gimme your email, I might be able to email you my current cart.

Is 'he' referring to the craigslist guy? Can you post a list of the actual parts instead of just ''1 TB HDD'' for example lol

Yes. That's the only list he gave me, but I'll post my list on newegg here. We can edit from there.
