Forgot to mention a 120SSD too

 

[Dangman]

So did you need a case and HDD (for storage) as well?

Which OS license do you have? Windows 7 Home Premium? Pro? And just so that I'm getting the whole story, where did you get the key from?

 

[iBad]

1000k is just fro those parts ive list.... and i forgot to mention i need 120ssd too.. case will be a different budget

 

[Dangman]

What case will you be choosing?

So you don't need a HDD for storage, correct?

Again, please answer my OS question.

 

[iBad]

Case will be 800D i think but it will bea full tower one so i wont have problem upgrading in the future
HDD prolly next year
OS is Windows 7 64Bit

 

[Dangman]

Gonna repeat my question again: Where did you get the key from?

 

[iBad]

its ALOT better then 1300

no offense

danny.. he can get better then that at the prices of 3570k's they are 170 plus tax at mircrocenter..

Where did he say he lived near a Microcenter? The OP did not mention whatsoever what state he lived in. Remember MC's CPU deals only apply in-store, not online.

Besides, since question 2 specifically states "If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible," if the OP didn't bother to put down what state he's in, I'm not going the extra effort in making sure the OP does or doesn't live near a MC.

also ram is also bad.. he can get the 1600 mhz ram, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231416

its ALOT better then 1300

The RAM you chose is OOS. Not to mention that there's is barely any real world difference between DDR3 1333 and DDR3 1600 RAM. As such, the extra $8 for that RAM isn't worth it for little to no real world performance increase.
