Damn, nice price.  Rarely do you get a combo price of $300-350 for a decent cpu and flash motherboard  :thumb: .

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148540&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL122413&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL122413-_-EMC-122413-Latest-_-DesktopMemory-_-20148540-L0H

You should of bought RAM around Black Friday. Newegg was selling G. Skills Ripjaws 2133 2x4 GB for $50. Oh well, to be honest I would never buy crucial memory but since budget is such a concern I listed it. Reason I wouldn't recommend crucial is because I received a set of these exact ram at 1.35 volt (these are 1.5 volt so they are not exactly the same mind you) free with my MOBO. First set had 1 dead stick, second RMA was the same. It wasn't until the 3rd set I got they both worked and I pawned them off on ebay for $40 because I didn't want to deal with it. Apparently the 1.35 volts were discontinued (Newegg was giving them out for free for a reason) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148662 that's the set I had. I Ended up buying some Corsair Vengeance LP and don't regret it.

If Meiosis would seperate with just that i5 3570k for around $180 you should feel lucky. You might be able to find one on ebay for around $150 BIN if you're patient enough. Just be aware those particular ones probably got what is known as "bad silicone". It probably runs hot or something.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/MSI-Z77A-G41-LGA-1155-Socket-H2-Intel-Motherboard-/231121929065?pt=Motherboards&hash=item35cff0c369

Only 1 PCI-E X16 3.0 and only 2 Sata 6 ports but again, budget.

That would be $310 barring Meiosis selling the i5 for that or if you wanna wait to see it would be $280
