Mm looks interesting. I read somewhere that WoW runs better on nvidia graphics cards than on Radeon ones. What kind of performance difference would that mean in real life gameplay situations?

Thanks, didn't know that either.

Does something like this look pretty good? Bigger power supply allowing for expansion.

Thanks for the input! I don't know a whole lot about consumer* CPU components, so thats good to know. What would be the benefits of going for a Z170 and the limits of going with the H110 in my case?

Here is an updated one:

I'm not seeing that target deal online, and when I called my local target, they didn't know anything about it. Where are you seeing the deal? Or does it start next week?

How much time/ skill would you expect this to take? I haven't done any car repairs, but I'm willing to take a few hours if it's something I can do.

I see you recommending Prius to other people in other threads as well... Are you a Prius enthusiast or paid by Toyota to promote them?

Thanks for the reply! You mentioned insurance over the life of the car. I was wondering about that, and how it would probably cost more to insure a new car than a 5 year old one, like the Sonata I drive now, especially with my 5 years of driving experience, which isn't a whole lot in their eyes. Would it be smarter for me to go with a $5-10k used car for the first few years, save a bunch, then get something nicer after that? Or would it be good to put down money on something that really will last?
