Using mostly NewEgg with a few items from Amazon:
Rosewill Dual Fans MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case FBM-01 $29.99 on Amazon
EVGA 100-N1-0400-L1 400W Power Supply $34.99 on NewEgg
ASRock Z97M Pro4 LGA 1150 Intel Z97 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Mobo $99.99 on NewEgg
Intel Core i3-4150 Processor (3M Cache, 3.50 GHz) BX80646I34150 $118.49 on Amazon
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9S-4GBRL $34.99 on NewEgg
SAMSUNG 850 EVO-Series MZ-75E250B/AM 2.5" 250GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) $104.99 on NewEgg
EVGA 01G-P4-2753-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Superclocked 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card $99.99 after $10 mail in rebate on NewEgg
Acer G276HL Gbmid 27-inch Full HD (1920 x 1080) Widescreen Display $179.99 on Amazon
I've built computers in the past (over 15 years ago) and I've never upgraded anything more than the RAM, so I'm not too concerned about this build's limited expansion abilities. My interest in games and computer use in general is pretty casual these days, so I'm looking for cheap over cutting edge performance. I may want a Blu Ray player at some point for watching films; and if I end up using the computer a lot, I may get a 3TB drive (but I have a 1TB external drive already). Otherwise, I'm pretty out of the loop with the tech of today and used http://pcpartpicker.com/guide/gcTwrH/entry-level-gaming-build as a starting point.
I have trial of Amazon Prime so I get free 2 day shipping on Amazon items. The shipping on the NewEgg items comes to a scant $5.80
The total for this build is: $709.22
I think this is a pretty good build for the buck, but if you see where I could improve the value of my purchase or if you see of any potential compatibility issues, please let me know!
Thanks,
Jason
