Sorry for not taking many pictures but I didn't want to spend the extra time,
In this build I used these parts:
A10-5800k APU/CPU with an Arctic cooling CPU fan/heatsink
MSI FM2-A75MA-E35 Micro ATX Motherboard
8gb (2x4gb) Patriot Viper 3 ram @ 1866
Corsair 430W ATX12V PSU
And a spare WD caviar green HDD w. an 840 Pro SSD
I like the front of the case:

AMD FX-6300 (Intel's are better, but I wanted to use my budget to get a good graphics card, And I don't need a blazingly fast CPU)
nVidia Geforce GTX 680 Superclock
16GB Kingstone HyperX Ram (2 x 8gb)
2 x SSD/HDD
Primary Drive: 480GB Intel Solid State Drive.
Secondary (Storage) Drive: 2TB Unknown HDD (74000rpm)
Corsair H80i Liquid Cooling
Asus Sabertooth or something (Motherboard, forgot)
Some Blu-Ray Drive

Intel isn't better, in terms of price/performance, but I prefer the 3770k over anything.
Get a GTX 670 instead of a 680, the FX-6300 might bottle neck it, I don't know.
Also check this out man
I was googling if it would bottleneck it, and this came up,
I've never been registered on that site, nigga's got the same name

Get a bit of electrical tape and manage them cords for some better air flow.
using the stock cooler, stock 120mm fan, and some old (but stock) 80mm fan, there's no airflow in the first place. What little there is, it isn't restricted and there is no cable management on this case.

Nice computer case <3 Lol why you need this for college idk :p
I don't want to take my server with me, since it's very expensive. If this were to get stolen I wouldn't be as mad. I won't game there, and can be ran on pretty much any computer post 2001. Initially I was going to buy a T400 thinkmad but I already have an x200 I can use.

Loving it nice build
Damn right biatch.

I've already got it, and the whole point of getting my computer was to get a food 4 years of gaming out of it. I will likely get an intel i5 eventually but I'm getting excellent performance from my GTX 680, more FPS than my monitor supports. While the FX-6300 bottlenecks it. (That is on Ultra, Crysis 3)
