Hey everyone ; I made this build for those hwo want to build a pc for everyday use and light gaming ; i took advantage of the fact that microsoft gives xp for free
i've added a 7$ thumb drive incase some of you didn't have one for xp and the optical drive is optional too
this pc can't run windows 7 optimally so xp was the only choice , really
anyway heres the build
