I feel as if the 700-900 budget range sells a home builder short of how much more ther could be capable of with the addition of a few hundred dollars, but if you're adamant on your current price range I'd suggest....


putting out a few more bucks on your RAM, sporting these...

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL


Dropping down your HHD preference to 500GB until the supply increases...A lot of unnecessary money is being poured out into these. Do you see yourself exceeding 500gb in a year?

i don't see my self exceeding 500gb in a year but i wanted to get the TB just in-case i guess a could drop it then and wait unitil i need it. yeah i don't think i could go any higher on the price range i still need to buy a monitor and a os.
if you think the price range is a problem and i cannot get the best deal for it im still open to buying a prebuild if you think i can get a better performing machine for my price range.
