http://www.bestbuy.com/site/asus-rog...red/2149087.p? I'm really liking this desktop, yet I can't quite tell if I'm getting the most bang for my buck with this one. |

Don't buy Windows 8 because you can get Windows 10 Technical Preview for free. Or, if you have a Windows 7 disk laying around, install that and you can upgrade to Windows 10 for free when it comes out this summer. |

I believe I'll just stick with fp4's original build, why spend more when it can already do everything I want, right? Now on to my next question, I need a monitor. Is there any particular moniter that's cheap, yet effecient? I know next to nothing about monitors and it appears just about any one works, but I'd still like to see what's out there.
