This will be my second buiild. It will be mostly a video game/movie watching machine along w/ some school programs (autocad, matlab, etc). I did a fair amount of research putting this together, but wanted an outside opinion. Also was wondering will the CPU cooler fit the mobo w/o buying a retention bracket? Thanks guys!

Is the $7 really going to be the one to break your wallet? Really, just get it and save yourself the hassle of the push pins.

Also, here's a 24" monitor for $250
