Youre trolling right?

Anyways, i would go with a G860 centered build.. Very good price/performance thumb.gif

For casual computing, it'll be great. Heck, will do light gaming.
Motherboard: Asrock ITX FM1 ($90 - $10 combo savings)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.952976
Does NOT HAVE DVI-connection. If your monitor is only DVI and not HDMI or VGA, this motherboard will not connect to it.
CPU Cooler: Stock cooler.
RAM: Crucial 2x4gb 1866mhz ($54)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148560
Actually 2x2gb would probably be fine.
GPU: Integrated
Case: Silverstone Sugo SG05B ($100)
http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=36315&vpn=SST%2DSG05B&manufacture=Silverstone%20Technology
PSU: Included above
DVD-burner ($29)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827151242
Storage: Now you decide whether to spend ~$65 on a 500gb HDD, more on a bigger HDD, or go full luxury sweetness on a 256gb SSD.
256 Crucial m4 ($204):
http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=60446&vpn=CT256M4SSD2&manufacture=CRUCIAL%20TECHNOLOGY&promoid=1223
Of course, you can spend another $20 or so for the one with the transfer kit on newegg if that would be useful.
Total: $547
Note I've never personally built an ITX version before, so keep in mind I might not have considered every angle. I think this is an excellent setup for the purpose though. ITX is smaller than mATX, this also includes a DVD-burner, better RAM, and a much larger SSD. Though it is, of course, much more expensive because of the larger SSD. The above build has a quad-core vs tri-core CPU, with somewhat better integrated graphics (though I don't think that'll matter unless some gaming is done on the side, and the a6 in this build could be replaced by an a8).


Well I'm gonna either go with a 64 or 128GB SSD (Really not necessary to have more in this case), And ill use the A8 (its 20$ more but the mobo I'm using is 20$ less so it balances out)

M-ITX is much smaller and has only one PCI Express Slot instead of the 4 you see on Micro-ATX.

Yes. That is why the motherboard I posted is $20 more, most likely. It's even smaller and can fit in a smaller case.

umm, there are some other cases like:

or this:

either way, you would still be able to run the system, and you would still be under budget!
