This is what i'm currently looking at, from newegg.com, I can put this together, but the only thing i'm not sure on how to do is puting the processor in. Also I would like to know if this is a good setup, really all I want is a gaming rig I can upgrade as tech get better and play all current games on and I want this to last me 4yrs in the least.
