Extremely cheap build for a bud

[Lean L]

Let me know what you think. This will be used for light gaming (eg mass effect) and movie watching.

I think I did a pretty good job with the price. He has another HDD that he can toss in for storage.

Don't suppose there is a microcenter by you? They sell the processors cheaper than newegg does. I like it for the most part, but is there any chance you can spring for the extra $12 for the crucial m4 ssd? I've used most of the parts before and they have served me well, the only one I haven't used is that particular SSD; I have the m4 and couldn't be happier, the chronos brand is an unknown to me. All in all, rock solid build.

Check out my thread. I didn't start with the extreme budget intent, but ended there anyway http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2243532

Lol. Mobo is out of stock now. That's the basis of the cheap price lol. And for the SDD. I'd change it up but the price is already at his top range... shrug haha.

There's plenty of cheap H61 boards out there, just none quite that cheap. Here's a Gigabyte for example. If $20 makes or breaks it, I dunno what to say. :awe:

Yeah, they dropped it by another $10 after I got it and apparently that opened up the floodgates...
