Without hard drive: 290$


Basically, I'm asking if this is all compatible and if I'll be able to do some light gaming.
On an unrelated note how would I boot this computer with Linux?



Overclocking: Maybe a little

Approximate Purchase Date: this week

Crossfire: no


Thanks

you can do a little better for $350. as for booting with linux, you can download either cd/dvd ISO files or bootable USB files (called a Live CD), and boot with those into Linux. from there, you can install Linux to the hard drive

here's my $350 suggestion

you could drop to the 3670K and squeeze in a 6570
