I will be getting all the parts for this build, but I just want signs of approve that it is good and a solid build, and for the ram I know some of you are going to say to get 8GB of ram I know I know. I will be upgrading in the future once I get the money for 8GB's but for now I really don't need that much. I play a lot of games on a non-gaming laptop that has like 2 or 3 GB of ram. I'm good for now, until I feel like it's time to upgrade my ram, I also picked it because it's made by corsair, it's blue, and looks cool, it will also fit the color of my build when the white LED fans are on. I am also not a hardcore gamer, so I won't be bumping up to 1TB from 500GB (same thing with the ram too until I think it's a good time to upgrade) And for the keyboard and mouse I am getting the Logitech G105 MW3 Edition: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/logitech-keyboard-920003652
And the Cobra Tarrasque Glare https://pcpartpicker.com/part/cobra-mouse-8ttl26r0p85402 kinda looks like the razer naga molten which looks cool and it's multi color which means it changes into different colors as time passes, and it's a cheap fricken mouse. Both are cheap peripherals which is awesome for me because I don't want to be buying 100 dollars worth of keyboards and mouses from razer ha
;)

For monitor and OS wise. I don't have an OS, but when I add one to this build the price goes up really high, so I am going to have to save money for that. And for the monitor I have 2 dell monitors that are used by VGA's, I also have a question for the monitors how do I convert DVI inputs to VGA's? Thanks!

You won't really need one. It's just common practice. It will help your cpu last longer and quiet down the system. A liquid cooler is almost silent. The stock cooler will be noticeable.

1. DVI to VGA: you can simply buy an adapter, like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812270618
2. RAM: for $20.00 more you can get quality 8gb ram that's blue in color: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/kingston-memory-khx1600c9d3b1k28gx
3. PSU: save yourself $10.00 and get a cx600W: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-power-supply-cx600
4. CASE: save another $10.00 with this case: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/zalman-case-z9
5. Your CPU will come with a stock cooler. This may be the first upgrade you want to consider. Throw a self-contained liquid cooler on it like this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/corsair-cpu-cooler-h60cw9060007ww

With the two savings you get your RAM upgrade at the same overall cost.

Just personal preference. I'm not a fan of the look. I find it big and bulky, covering up too much.

I switched the PSU, not the case and ram. I didn't change the case because, I get a message saying that it doesn't have 3.0 ports when my motherboard does, and the thermaltake case has a lot more features than the zalman case and is better imo. I didn't change the ram because I'm fine with 4GB since I don't really plan to play BF4 and BF3 yet. But when I do I will upgrade, But I will just be playing Minecraft,Osu,League of Legends,Maplestory,Binding of Isaac,Terraria,Combat arms,Soldier Front, and TF2. My build will at least overcome those games. And thanks for the DVI to VGA Adapter! Helped a ton now I can use both my dell monitors in a dual setup! Yes! Thanks man. I know you're trying to help me save money and I appreciate that, but some things just don't fit my needs. I don't know why I can't stick with the heat sink.. I am not going to overclock or anything ha. Do I really need a CPU cooler? Even when I am not going to overclock? Thanks for your help! Decreased the price when I switched the PSU thanks man.

I was watching a video made by newegg on the Zalman case. It does have 3.0 ports but doesn't show on the pictures in the gallery of the case, it also has a temperature display but doesn't show on the pictures either. Weird... But I will see what I can do when getting a CPU cooler, what would you recommend that is loved by many????

Ok, I decided to add one. It's not the one you picked for me and it's not the evo its the TX3, i've heard it's a good beginners CPU cooler.
