I need you people to help me ASAP.  Or more simply put... immediately.

 

I need to build another computer, but I just don't have a very good opinion on budget hardware these days.  So I want to build it in between a budget of 500-600 dollars - - - A MAX cap at $600.  I want the desktop case to be relatively compact as well.  Can someone compile a parts list for me in this budget range, and even better... links to each part.  I would prefer to keep as much of this strictly newegg, since I get (minor) discounts with them.  

 

Oh... and one more thing...

Even with your discounts I would recommend just using PCPartPicker to purchase your parts. I shall come up with a micro atx style build for you.

 

Is this geared towards something specific?

And here you go: http://pcpartpicker....e5/saved/kgwFf7

 

I think that is a pretty good build. I would search for those parts on newegg and see if you can build something similar if you really do insist upon newegg only. HOWEVER, this is a very good build for the price i think.

 

Reliable Intel Core, a 2GB 960 graphics card 8gb of ram. no ssd which sucks but i compensated by doing the graphics card so you can play some decent games and such.

 

I also color coated the build to be black and white a bit as well as put it inside a micro atx case. Not as small as it could be but because of your price range and the specs it has I think its pretty good.

Very cool.  Pun intended.  Wait... I said the punchline before the joke... does that tower come with fans?  I assumed so, since it was called the "cool master."

I say use the Pentium anniversary CPU instead of that i3. Saves a few bucks that would be inevitably dumped into shipping costs. Plus that Pentium is a beastly little dual core, and likely more bang for the buck than the i3.
