That leaves you about 1150$ for the computer

If you have a MicroCenter in your area. Give them a try for the processor and Motherboard. They have the 3570K going for $189. They had the If 2500k going for $159 at the moment.


Add in decent motherboard and you will save money over NewEgg or Amazon ironically.
