Re: [PLUG] no frills computer advise

To follow up on what Rich wrote, I just built a pretty decent PC from a combo ordered from Newegg.com: 
Asus motherboard
AMD A10-5800K CPU (this is actually what they call an "APU", it has the graphics hardware (Radeon) added to the CPU chip) 
8 GB RAM
1 TB Seagate HDD
Plextor DVDRW
Rosewill (the Newegg house brand) minitower case with 500W power supply

All for $432
The motherboard is very flexible, including USB 3, a slot for a graphics card in case you want to upgrade, a couple of other slots, and the BIOS allows overclocking.
It was really not hard to assemble at all. I don't feel I could have gotten the quality and choice of components for anywhere near that price buying prebuilt.
