This will be my first build, and I'm kinda nervous as in braking something, but I've been watching alot of tutorials and such, that I think of I have the hang of it. Any way, I'm gonna buy for my build list here http://pcpartpicker.com/user/blackhawks2013/saved/2odO (I already have the ssd so dont say to get one) and I am gonna buy a gpu. I dont plan on doing that graphically intense games, and if the price is a bit more the 100, feel free to put it down. Thanks in advanced

Why two kinds of memory first off and also I completely agree the SSD is unneeded and out of budget.

Thank you for the list, I've heard a couple people saying xfx psu's aren't the greatest. That could just be a fanboy, but I dont really know. It does hav an 80 plus bronze...
