Does this look any good?
If you guys can lower the total price and either keep, or improve the current speed that would be great. I am not very familiar with computers.

I am trying to get it as close to $400 as possible

Do you live near a microcenter, cause they have this combo deal where you can get certain CPUs plus a "free" (after a rebate) mobo. When I did this, the rebated didn't quite cover what I payed for the motherboard, but I still basically got it for $5.

Yes I do.

[Georges]

Yes I do.

go check our there website under PC parts>amd bundles. Or it's something similar.

[Bisjac]

maybe you can save money by dropping the wireless card, and picking a mobo that has wifi built in.

or at least break even on the price and have a better model mobo

i only know the intel ones though. so i dunno if it can be done for you

nope. He's missing a psu.

[Aduioa]

I am missing a power supply dang. Okay I fixed it

New price is now $501.93 :(

[Georges]

Are you planning to overclock? Cause if not, the stock CPU cooler is just fine, so that'd be -$10.

I dont plan on it. So thanks. I will remove it

Also I have that exact ASUS motherboard, and I gets the job done. Only wish it had USB 3.0.
