Re: [Parts Check] Proposed student/light gaming build

Suggesting a cheaper mobo is my thing, but getting $45 or so worth of RAM with it makes that a nice choice. Everything else looks pretty solid.

Are you on budget?

That deal expired, and the mobos being offered with RAM now are not Asrock but Gigabyte/MSI/Biostar.

Instead of switching mobos, I went with the Asrock Z75 Pro3 ($85) and G.Skill Ripjaws X 2x 4GB 1600 ($35), so I am still paying roughly the same amount.

And to answer your question, yes, this is a budget rig.

Edit: Some really good deals going on right now: »promotions.newegg.com/NE ··· -_-promo
