That is the reason why I go there often to fill in the blanks for popular stuffs. Lol

But I will give you what is the list price. They definitely can go lower.

OK. Definitely can save up more from tradepac.

MSI b85m-e33 +i5-4570~$344
Gskills ripjaws 1600mhz kit 2x4gb ~ $95
WD blue 1tb ~ $81
Palit gtx760 jetstream 2gb + seasonic m12 520w bundle ~ $410
Samsung odd ~ $22
LG IPS234V 23" monitor ~$258
Windows 7 home premium 64bit OEM ~ $115
Sharkoon t5 ~ $68

Total: $1393. Can add one more plextor m5s 128gb @$139 list price if you don't mind. Lol

did i miss out a cooling fan? or does it come with the casing?

Cooling CPU? Can just use intel stock cooler, comes with the CPU itself. Pretty decent cooling if you not overclocking. If you want something nicer can go for thermaltake gaia or CM evo 212 kinds, quite cheap.

Can tell you my nehalem rig is still running for 4-5 years never even bother to clean the stock HSF before... Now convert it into htpc.

760 dont really suck lah.

It is a decent performance card. Also a decent clock speed out of box. Its a mainstream gaming card. Unless you really have more money to spare. Then the best card you can get out there for single card usage would be the 770 standing at $6xx
