Need help building sub-800 pc
Last response: in Systems
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Budget Range: $800(cheaper if you can)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: games(world of warcraft, skyrim, FPS); watching movies on netflix, internet browsing
Parts Not Required: monitor, keyboard, mouse
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg or other reputable site
Country: U.S.
Parts Preferences: I want the case to be something that would look normal in a home office(i.e. no neon green futuristic looking cases)
Overclocking: no
SLI or Crossfire: no
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 - its an old LCD I have from my old Acer computer
Additional Comments: This is my first build, so I want parts that are easy to put together and a case that's easy to work in(I have huge hands). I'd like it relatively quiet.

1. Is this a good build?
2. I'm thinking of paying an extra $36.00 to get a Intel Core i5 Processor i5-2310 2.9GHz 6MB LGA1155 CPU rather than the 1-3 in the above build. Will this be compatible with my motherboard and everything else in the build?
