Beer, here is my recommended component list for your desktop:
i3-2100 (you can go to MicroCenter, right?)
http://www.microcenter.com/single_produc...id=0359809
$89.99 + tax
ASUS P8H61-I
http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-3-0-SATA-Inte...B004W8EFWK
$79.99
Kingston DDR3 1333 low profile RAM (8GB)
http://www.amazon.com/Kingston-ValueRAM-...002K27KW2/
$43.92
then pickup a 128GB SSD (whatever is on sale that gets decent reviews -- my favorite is Crucial m4) and a case, power supply and if needed to fit the case, an aftermarket cooler. This will all run comfortably under a 120W power supply.
