I have replaced most parts on past computers (graphics card, memory, optical drive, hard drive, etc) so I think I should be able to build one with the video tutorials.
I've looked through tons of posts on many sites and came up with the following list. I wanted to check on a parts list as well as ask if there are any potential pitfalls I should be aware of building from scratch. I don't plan to overclock or crossfire. My goal was to try to find a balance between cost and performance, did I do OK?
