K, so I built a pc following the specs listed in march
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/budget-gaming-pc-phenom-ii-radeon-hd-6850,2903.html
Only changes were:
I upped the RAM sticks from 2 to 4 so I'd have 8GB instead of 4GB.
Added a Sound Blaster Xi-Fi card.
Used my 1 TB drive.
Thing is I'm having a problem with the RAM. I can use 2 sticks, but when I try to go to all 4, the computer won't post! I returned my first board thinking it was defective and I had the exact same problem with the replacement!
This is the RAM:
