ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: like the idea of the X3 720 but not stuck on it.
newer to building - built one years and years ago...
i've pieced together these parts based on what i think looks good
any glaring holes in this plan? anything look like it wont work?
I'd like to build this and have it last for a long time
my budget is pretty tight but i dont want to buy junk
i will prob buy parts over the next couple months and purchase windows 7 OEM
thanks guys!
