    Fuzzykins "Sweet Spot" Build

    Take a look there
    The i5 2500K is better than the i7 960 and it's also cheaper. (for a start)

    Add $40 for the CPU cooler which is out of stock (so the price isn't included in the total here)

    Videotape your construction of it. It might just be worth it if what you say is true.

    Don't know what the first build would've cost you, but this build is better in every way.
