Thanks a lot for the replies. I just have a few more questions regarding the parts I have so far, linked below:

Newegg.com Shopping Cart

I would like to make sure that all the parts are compatible with each other. Also, seeing how the price is about $100 over my preferred maximum without the OS, Is there anyway to reduce some prices while maintaining most of the same performance?

I already have a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. Other than the OS, is there anything I missed?

Thank you very much for your help.

but you can save some cash but buying stuff like cases from other places where its free shipping (aka ZZF)

zzf does have free shpping, but newegg's got the best return policy and customer service.

And customer service wins imo.

Alright, I saved the wish list and shared it in the public wish lists section, but when searching for it I can't find it on the list. Does it take a while for it to update or am I just doing something wrong?

 

[veg1992]

log off Newegg... go to each part and do add to wish list.... then try again..
