I'm not actually going to build this right now. I'm just looking to see if I've got the right idea.
The purpose for this computer would be primarily web surfing, Netflix, maybe some light photo editing. I'd also like Haswell just for compatibility with my gaming rig (makes troubleshooting easier).
Anything I should do differently? Note: I intentionally did not include an SSD. Telling me to add one doesn't help.
(And yes, I know I've got a blue motherboard and red RAM--it's not like I'd show off the interior).
