So it's that time of.. my life.. where I turn 18 and my parents say "HEY, here's 500$ to build a custom rig".
Here's my components so far. If you reccommend any hardware, keep in mind that I have a max budget of $600, as I have $100 of my own money which I'm willing to spend.

Right under my lowest mark for my budget, and with the cost of a monitor I should be in the sweet spot of my budget including shipping and such.
