I would like to order my build before Cyber Monday is over, my budget is around $400 after shipping I can go over a little just can't go over by like $50-100.I will primarily be using this build for gaming and surfing the web, I don't expect it to run every game at max setting but i would like to upgrade it later on to do so.
this is what I have so far right now I don't plan on over clocking or sli/crossfire but in the future
I might. I also need to shave off a couple bucks to put this back in my budget.

Pretty good for the price. Go for it.
Edit, I try to configure the same thing and it went way over budget, but it has 8GB instead of 4Gb and a 750k not 760K
