thanks Nukem I'm thinkin bout waiting for black-friday to see if I can get a deal otherwise I'm going with that setup. Also Grkbar hahaha im not broke i have money but the temptation to go over-budget is too strong & can always justify spending X more to get Y in return Thanks everybody. This is also a good thread for those looking for a budget build... until prices change again :laughing: :laughing:
