This is my first time building a computer. At first i thought i would be better off buying but then i realized that building would be better since $400-$500 in retail would get me a very low end cpu/mobo and very limited upgrade options whereas for the same price i could build something better. Anyway after searching and digging this is what i figured i could make (i am on budget) i would love some input from those that already have the experience in building
