Well I decided since I am good with computers I'll make a list of budget builds with current PC parts I will make a new blog every week with new builds. Since I use Intel all of these builds will be Intel CPU based. These builds are just the tower only. However, I will make a list of keyboard ,mouse,monitor and other parts that I would recommend.

Thoughts about what I recommended
Case: Great case for the money a lot of gamers recommend this for a budget

Power Supply: Solid power supply
CPU: Has great OC abilities people we're able to hit 3.8 GHz on the board I recommended.
RAM: I currently use this RAM and love it and would recommend it to anyone.
HDD: not that big but still be able to put wow on it and alot of other games.
DVD drive: it burns and reads dvd drives not much to say.

Thoughts on this *note I decided to make a identical system I have:
Case: I have it and love it keeps my E8400 cool great airflow
Motherboard: Great over clocking abilities especially for E8400
Video Card: Great Performance plays TF2 max with average 150-200 FPS in game
Power supply: One solid power supply good psu if go sli
CPU: A monster to over clocking it's basically screaming to be over clocked.
RAM: great ram for the price and 2000 reviews on newegg about it.
HDD: it's only 250gb and never had a problem with it.
DVD: it burns dvd's
Aftermarket cpu cooler: keeps E8400 at 35*c at idle at 3.6GHz when I OC my CPU a must have!!! also you may have to rotate the cpu cooler since the North brudge heatsink may get in the way well it did on my blood iron.
Bracket: to keep S1283 from falling off the motherboard.
Will be putting 1200 and 2000 USD gaming rig list soon!
