I am starting out on building a gaming computer, but right now, I want to use it for work and school until I save up a bit more.
Right now, I am just trying to get the 'bare bones' in, hence my lack of a sound, graphics card, etc. I do plan on installing more ram and getting a solid state hard drive as soon as I can, as well as maxing out the case fans and getting a media reader. My budget is 600-900 for the parts listed below. I want to make sure, that for the budget I have, that I am getting the most bang for my buck and that the parts are solid.
I have a monitor, speakers, scanners, printers.

I know that a lot of users have said to go for an I5 and then spend on a graphics card, but I also want to use this computer for work and school, so I need it to be as fast as I can get it with the money I have.
