Additional Comments: I would like a quiet PC. Just need it to not sound like a helicopter please.

I have put together 4 systems in the past 11 years and while I am not clueless, each time I try and configure a rig from Newegg the price is very different from what is in the post I am reading. I have looked over several posts now and am stuck. One as recent as 13 hours ago was listed and the prices were already different. I guess the main reason I am posting is because when it comes to switching parts to make a deal work I get a little confused. If it helps I play MMORPG's (if you can still call them that...lol).

There is more but I will stop...I have probably put you to sleep by now. :p

Thanks in advance.

As an addition I would like to have a strong CPU-Mobo-Ram combination...as I am more likely to rebuild then upgrade. A GPU upgrade over the life cycle is a possibility, but I will likely keep what ever CPU-mobo-Ram I get from the initial build.

Thanks again.
