I would not buy individual computer parts from frys; the second item is a board for $4; they never had any in stock at that price; it's worse than bait and switch tactics used by some salesman. Here's my list from newegg, a great place to order pc parts from:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811322066 Case $55
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026 Power supply $31 shipped after rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131826 Motherboard; asus z77 $99 shipped after rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116504 cpu; $220 plus a $10 gift card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835233081 cpu heatsink $25
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233144 ram $47 shellshocker special ends today
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125443 $187 after rebate shipped video card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148321 $75; retail boxed drives have a lower failure rate; more protection during shipping
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211582 SSD $70

Your total is about $809 after rebates, including shipping

Whatever you do, don't order these parts piecemeal; save your money and order all of them together. You only have 30 days to return them; 7 days only for the cpu. Better to test all of them together; otherwise, you have to send them in for warranty, which takes longer. Newegg takes paypal and sometimes personal checks if you don't have a credit card.
