So I finally decided what I am looking for in a pc and started a build on newegg. I wanted to make a budget PC that will be mainly used for Web Surfing, Media, and some mild gaming. I don't need a power house and after a lot of thought I decided to go for Duo core over Quad core for the easier price tag Here is what I was thinking of putting together.
