My comments about my computer:
This is a pretty versatile computer, it can be used for light gaming or just browsing the net. You can take off the video card or wi-fi(or both)to make it cheaper, though I feel that including them adds to the usefulness of the build.

I kinda messed up when copying from newgg
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147045 should be the case and not that one
Fixed
FIRST! You CANNOT put an ATX Mobo into a Micro ATX Case!
Second! The case he has listed here is not the one the link leads to. The one it leads to is a Rosewill case which will bring this build over the $500 mark.
If that wasn’t enough…
GPU: Not going to be able to play any games on this.
Optical: They sell these for $22-24.
Mobo: Overpriced and ABIT kinda sucks (read reviews & customer feedback).
PSU: Overpriced.
Oh honestly. This is for regular people that want to play the simes, not gamers that want to play Crysis on high. I said I made a mistake when linking about the case, I had like 20 tabs open researching these when I linked it. If that one is unacceptable then http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147073 can replace it and make the build even cheaper. After having many $20 psu’s either die on me or kill my motherboard I’ve stopped buying them so I do not think this one is overpriced.
I can play portal and half life 2 on the computer I’m on now without a graphics card so I have no idea why you say you can’t play games on it.
My computer has nearly identical specs as this one and we never have problems playing games on it. We’re Portal addicts, and it plays just fine. Matress is just desperate for something to complain about.
You guys seemed to pass right over the main points I made.
ATX Mobo, Micro ATX case listed.
Link leads to a case that brings this build over the $500 mark.
The link in my second comment is cheaper still, and if you think that brings it over the $500 mark then you need to go back to primary school.
I’ve changed the case to the one in the second comment.
