I need your expertise to as simply as possible explain how I can improve on this(without more cash input if possible this is really pushing the envelope) But for example if $30 were to allow me to greatly improve on this i would gracious thank and consider that. Excited to find out what Much smarter people then my self have to say about my many hours and haggling and picking parts. To explain how limited I am at this, I was about to purchase a i5 1156 + board thinking it was newer then a i5 1155 + board, took me much shuffling through trolls but I got something out of it. Please consider my inquiry and all help is welcome.
