By the way, that DVD "burner"....it doesn't only burn, does it? (i.e. it's just CD/DVD drive right?)
Nice build. You will love the 570. Great GPU, I know because I have one if you're curious.
And yes, it reads CD/DVDs to.

CRAP! I missed the CD/DVD drive and now it's out of stock!
Anything else that's good? :(
In other news, ordered the HDD and case a minute ago.
Thankies :3
Everything has been ordered, check first post
Let me know how well your RAM does on the P67 system. I was thinking about getting it for when I get my SB build, just want to see how well it performs!
Well, guys, everything is here! I built the rig 2 days ago (Sunday, May 1).
Wanted to take this opportunity to thank you all for being patient and helping me out, it means a whole lot.

Still haven't gotten a monitor, speakers, or keyboard/mouse yet, so I'm still open to suggestions ;)
I'm planning on waiting for a Memorial Day sale at the end of this month for a monitor. Keep my eyes open!
glad that everything worked out for you
did you do any overclocking
Not yet, but I plan to in the near future!
Gotta learn how to do it first. I know next to nothing about OC-ing.
this is really simple actually
read up on this; it's really helpful, especially for beginners
