Thread: Building a PC

I'll be building tomorrow after I pick up my entire build from Microcenter. The $180 i5-2500k is a great deal, plus that packaged with a mother board (Or if you decide to roll with i7-2600k) can get you $50 off select motherboards. Saving so much money at MC compared to Newegg. Hopefully the build goes A-OK, first time building, I've watched someone build before though, and i've done a lot of upgrades though, so I'm only new to the CPU and Front panel.

I'm not on a tight budget, but I think the i5 will suffice for at least another 5 years? hopefully? It's (only) another $100 compared to the i5-2500k, but I think I'll have to pass..

I'm just going to be glad with more up to date technology. I'll be giving my mom my old computer with a core 2 quad core and 4gb of DDR2 Ram, DDR2! Finally
