there's a building thread here
look at pcppartpicker for ideas at your budget level...then ask us to critique it

I used this site last year. That table of parts give you a good idea how much you are going to spend. I used it last year (along with my own knowledge, of course) to build a rig.
I haven't used pcpartpicker, apologies if they're identical.

So looking at the build it myself route, doesn't seem to save me much in terms of cash.
I was looking at this place here in Richmond, what are you guy's thoughts on this box, pricewise and components, I would opt for an SSD as well. Brand New Gaming PC i5-4460 with GTX960 and 8GB with 1TB HD
Never heard of the store though, Sonex Computers? Sketchy?

I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole because it's overpriced and you are using a generic (if not crappy) 500W psu on a GTX960. I would rather pick the parts from NCIX or Memory Express and tell them to build it instead.

I think Sonex has been around for ever. I am pretty sure you could pay extra for a better PSU.

NCIX forums are pretty good to ask questions too. Should sign up an account if you have not.
If anything, their forums are even better since most of the users are PC techie guys.
And they can directly add links to the parts that are suggested from the NCIX store and then you can individually research them and find better pricing, etc.
