Thanks for this! I had trouble getting it to work on my previous install, so I "refreshed" my PC and activated the serial right away and have everything working great again and the Media Center is working just fine now.

Probably a pricing error and includes an old CPU too. Not a refurb either. Same keyboard is on sale by itself right now for $60.
I'm trying to keep my budget limited to $800 more or less. Do you think this one would be considered a good one? It says 600W and has some decent reviews...plus it would be $20 after MIR.
Otherwise, I'm looking at a few different (would be $50 after MIR) ones on Newegg.
I'm putting together my first build and I can't seem to find a straight answer for this. I'm looking at an i7 3770k (which I'll probably push to 4.1), an HD 7950 (or 70 if I can get a good deal), 16GB RAM, and a 2TB HDD. PCPartPicker estimates about 420W, but AMD says at least 500W and others...
If someone would be able to share their 3770k, I would be extremely greatful as I'm looking to build my first PC! Currently have the i5-3570k in mind at $150...
