Welcome to the forums.

That's a fairly expensive processor for an otherwise Budget Build set up.

You can get the 640gb Caviar Black for like $5 more. It would be worth it.

Okay, next step underway. Everything has been ordered, with the exception of a Sapphire Radeon 4830 video card instead of the NVidia. Wish me luck!
