^Lol. You seriously just took a build you posted in another thread and posted it here. Not sure if you noticed, but the OP has different requirements. He needs an OS and needs it all under $600 after tax. Your build is not only low quality, but it will exceed his budget.

@OP:
Is it alright if you order from sites other than Newegg? This way you can get the most out of your money.

-Unfortunately, you can't overclock on this build because the motherboard doesn't have VRM heatsinks.
-The case has blue LED fans.

I did notice that it was a repost. I didn't notice the requirement. also it wouldn't with Win7 home at $89 if he doesn't need optical drive or reuses an old case.

It's probably a good idea to get a 6800K APU, and pair it up with a dedicated AMD GPU in hybrid crossfire later if need be. As for case, you'll just have to look around a bit and read the reviews, that part is really all about what you want.
