Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
That 8gb Memory is actually x2 so it's 16gb at $40 per 8 gb.
As for the microcenter, that sounds like a good deal, I'll have to see if I have one anywhere near by. (I don't) Any other stores that might have a better combo deal?
As for the Graphics card, I'll be doing a little bit of gaming...

I suppose I could do that, I just feel it's cleaner and faster to get a second hard drive for virtual machines, with that in mind would you still suggest just partitioning the main hard drive?
woops, copy and pasted the wrong link, and forgot to change the price, thanks for the catch
This is the actual thing I'm getting
MSI R7950 Twin Frozr 3GD5/OC Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 at 340
The total pricing is still right, I did that from the cart's total.
Edit...
In that case, My final build will almost definitely be:
$365 - Intel Core i5-3450 + Asus P8Z77-V Intel Z77 ATX Motherboard Combo
$80 - 2 x G.Skill Value Series F3-10666CL9D-8GBNT 2 x 4GB DDR3 1333 RAM
$250 -PowerColor AX7950 3GBD5-2DH Radeon HD 7950 3GB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16

Yeah, I thought so, I might just get some low leveled stuff, I don't need (or at least haven't tried) any of those high end keyboards, I was just making sure there wasn't some low cost high-end keyboard that's been kept on the low down.
Okay one final question,
I found a combo that is the mobo...
How long and how many upgrades will the 520W psu provide? I know it won't sli or crossfire, but I doubt I'll be doing that soon. I'm more thinking of a couple extra hdd (for dual booting without reusing the same disc) and a couple other excessories (like the extra fans so I can slow all them...
I'm currently looking at building my own computer, I have most of the specs for that down, but I was wondering what Monitor should I get to go with my computer. I want something with good color representation, but not to spend an exorbitant amount of money (200-250 would be ideal)
I currently...
ok, awesome, thank you very much! You were am is be are such a big help, I probably would've taken Hours and hours to come up with a build at this price (I have a hard time cutting back in many areas).
But really, thank you for all the help you've given me.
thank you so incredibly much. It looks to be an incredible build, I'll probably be buying it tomorrow (so any last minute changes I can do before dropping $1k on something)
Couple questions, Would I benefit any by getting a small SSD and hooking it up with intel smart cache?
Edit4: I noticed...

The laptop HDD is 320Gb

the 1000 dollars doesn't necessarily have to include a monitor, but I'd like that to be or add no more than 200 dollars (I found a little extra money) (but if it can be not much more than 1100 that'd...
Yeah, I Posted a while back and someone told me it had a few issues. I tried fixing a little of it, but I decided I'd just scrap the whole build and ask someone who knows whats on the down-low what I should consider buying.
Thanks for the help! I'll certainly bump this in a couple days.
