Once I found the 3 graphics card I was interested in I went to a few video game and technology image boards and forums and got more info on them
and since i had no interests in paying for windows I put it on a USB and made it bootable

As far is actually putting it together, youtube has plenty of how-to and step-by-steps. It's fool proof.

Use the $20 MIR towards a 1TB-2TB HDD later on and you willl have a PC upgradeable all the way up to the 4790K. You might have to downgrade the bios on the motherboard to enable overclocking if you get an unlocked CPU. The Power Supply is overkill now, but leaves you with headroom for the future.
TOTAL is about $491.95 after MIR and @2gunsup consultation fee.
