So after seeing Greyone upgrade his system I really felt the need to update mine as well, although unlike most people my rig is completely functional and plays all the games I want to just fine. However my roommates wants to buy a new computer and if I can offer him my current system for 700-800$ (with monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers) then I will buy a completely new system for myself

I was thinking of getting a Zalman to cool the CPU but after seeing that Greyone was upgrading to the V8 I decided to give it a look over and it seems to be an excellent choice (his Mobo and case was an excellent choice as well )
Am I missing anything? This will be my first PC build from scratch
