that power supply went up in price

go look on newegg for anything in the same wattage range made by corsair, seasonic, or xfx.

And what about the cpu cooler. Is that needed immediately?

yes
the stock heat sinks that come with the cpu's are terrible for anything other than surfing porn and creating word docs.

I have never had one single issue with a MIR. They are a pain sometimes but I have always gotten my money and I do the speed pay for $2 where you get it in 10 days vs 8 weeks.

Same here, and actually the one time I screwed up a rebate form (forgot to include the newegg invoice), MSI gave me a second chance to send the missing stuff.

Why don't you just pick it out now and we can tell you what we think? Prices probably won't change in the next couple of hours.

Get a nice case. Your airflow will thank you. I got a cheap cooler master the first time around and the airflow sucked in it and my PC would get hot.

If you want cheap with good airflow get a Xigmateck Asgard Pro for $40

It also has USB 3.0 which your mobo supports.

ETA Nevermind I looked at that Rosewill and it isn't as bad as others I have seen from them. Get what you like, man.

eta: i'm a prime member, that's why i'm trying to get stuff from there. the cpu and the gpu already went up in price on newegg. i think the mobo did as well.

That ram is more expensive and slower than the PNY brand I linked you.

I give up helping you.

ETA: Newegg doesn't change prices in the middle of the day. I just looked and it's still all the same price as earlier.

Sign up for shop runner form Newegg. It's basically their prime and you get it free for 30 days then you cancel later on down the road before the 30 days is up.

Yeah, I have used that Rosewill case in several customer builds. It's good.

OP, stop being stupid. We know more about this than you. A lot more. Listen to us, or just order your shitty parts on Amazon and quit wasting our time.

Some of it you have to enter codes at checkout for the discounts and some of it you have to do mail in rebates. Some of it you have to do both. Read the PC part picker list and look at the info on the Newegg item page for details.
