I don't know what your problem is. I posted a question and you took as a chance to insult someone. I already said I don't want to take the time. I have built several computers and am not afraid to touch one. I have probably opened and probed more computers than you will in your entire life.

I need:
A new motherboard
A new CPU
New RAM
Here's what I came up with: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1jK7v

I'd recommend the i5-3570k at microcenter if there's one near you. It's like $190

I don't think it's bad, just overpriced.
Anyway I recall doing an experiment where I customized an alienware x51 on the alienware website then built the same one with pcpartpicker. The alienware was actually pretty close to the original price.

I didn't see this question. Yes, I do know. Hold on.

Just install and run. It'll tell you everything down to the punctuation mark.
This is what the program will look like.
Thats my PC btw, yes I know that it says I have a 80gb HDD, its actually 75 according to the Computer.

You're welcome.
You should still get it though, its pretty useful because of how much stuff it monitors and how the layout is.
