This should be my last thread. I don't want to bump my old one because I have more money to spend now.


What is this computer going to be used for?
Minecraft w/ Shaders and Renegade X
Gaming, making music and drawing.
What is your budget?
$750
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
Texas, but none close by.
What is included in the budget?
I have my own OS. All the parts. CPU, RAM, GPU, Motherboard, Optical Drive, PSU, Case
Will be overclocking?
If I get better performance I don't see why not.
Will you be reusing any parts?
No
What OS do you want?
I have Win 7 pro
Any specific case preferences?
No
Any other special features that you want in the build?
Please leave room for upgrade because I have a job to pay fir upgrades but max out my budget to $750.

Yeah, at that point the price of gas is getting close to being more than the extra cost of buying parts elsewhere.

If you don't want to make the trip to a Micro Center, you can always spend an extra $40 on the CPU and get a cheaper case.
