I've been racking my brain for the past month or so putting together a system. It started with the idea of just buying a dell and leaving it at that. With more research I found that I could build a nicer pc for just about the same amount. This is one of the numerous builds I have come up with. I'm still very new to the site so I'll try my best to stick tot the build format everyone uses here.

This build puts me at right about 1050 with tax before rebates. I am very open to any suggestions. Is the ps adequate for this build? I havent built a pc in over 10 years so I'm pretty excited.
