Please note that if you're using an OEM license of Windows, you will need a new one when buying a new motherboard.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: (e.g.: newegg.com, ncix.com -- to show us selection & pricing)

Overclocking: Yes / No / Maybe

Additional Comments: (e.g.: Need to have a window and lots of bling, I would like a quiet PC. Please also list specific software or games you're using)

Few other questions: Is an aftermarket heatsink fan really necessary? On the PCPartPicker webpage it says estimated wattage is 303w. Does that mean I can downgrade on my PSU? Doing those things would help me with the money situation.
