I merged your 2 threads - and your Microcenter cart is empty. I assume you are looking at the LK board, which CPU?

Go with the Vengeance ram. The A-Data ram works best with AMD builds. Do you really need 16gb?

You are building with only a SSD (no hard drive) and no video card? What about an optical?

Excellent PSU, but overkill. The LK board is probably overkill too if you aren't going to be using a video card.

Thanks glc, Microcenter cart is full now, and yes you assumed right, I'm looking at the V LK board since it has onboard video?

I have 250GB hdd available ,thinking about using that,probably will purchase a higher capacity though. I'm really not sure if I need 16GB, I have not compared prices lately.
She does a little bit of everything with her computer that why I thought 16gb is okay.Thanks again.

This PS is $59.99

With Promo Code: EMCYTZT3322
After $15 MIR with Free Shipping! Is it okay than the first?

Yes I'm getting an optical,thanks.

Nope, still can't see your cart. Can you please just post the model of the CPU?

*ALL* socket 1155 boards have provisions for onboard video. The video is in the CPU, not the board. Good board, but more than you need. Just trying to save you some money. Same with the ram - 8gb is probably more than you need.

Another excellent PSU, but you don't need anywhere near 650 watts. However, you can't beat it for the price and it *IS* modular to help with cable management.

How much storage space do you actually need?

Maybe too much power for her needs however the deal is too good to pass

More likely I'll get the 1 TB WD black or the 500gb to supplement the 240gb ssd and 250gb,not sure if this 250gb is sata or older drive, I'm going to open the case to check.

From my heart,I really deeply appreciate you guys so much always.Thanks

If you are going to supplement the SSD with a conventional hard drive, you don't need that big a SSD - 120gb should be plenty big enough. I'd personally get the 120gb Intel 520 and a 1 TB WD. I wouldn't even use the 250 you have unless you want to use it as an external for backups.

the blue colored ones are on promo code discounts while the others are not, I was wondering why the promo code for the blue ones weren' t applying for the black ones in my cart if they are all the same except colors? Thanks.
