hello all. i am trying to make my first build based of the i3-2100 without breaking the bank. I chose i3-2100 because it doesn't feel like I spending to much. it is for the house and i want it to be able to load real quick.
Approximate Purchase Date: hopefully today before midnight
Budget Range: trying to get it under $700-800
System Usage from Most to Least Important: small work related, general surfing, researching and video watching (netflix, hulu, etc.)
Parts Not Required: I will be reusing my dell keyboard and logitech wireless mouse
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: intel based
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: not familiar
Monitor Resolution: unsure but if I get a graphics card later i will probably try to get it to 1920x1080
Additional Comments: quiet but efficient with decent multitasking capabilities
Motherboard & CPU combo - 193.98 (after 30 discount)

Total cost after shipping and discounts is 701.64 (still feels expensive) Will these parts be compatible? Should I get warranty on any of these products? if you guys have any suggestion on better products or at least cheap and reliable i am welcome to them. Newegg offers alot of Seagate 1TB but the reviews and my personal experience place me against it. Thanks for all opinions
