Below is the prospective parts list for the machine I intend to use as my work station. To produce this list I first read through kitchentablecomputer's "Computer Parts" section. After reading the various buying guides, I started picking components based around the processor from the machine on which diana_coman installed cuntoo. The parts also had to be available on bestcomputersa. Once I made my list I checked the other store recommended by handbot, cococo.co.cr, for better options for the various parts. I only made one change: I replaced my ₡147,500.00 480GB Kingston SSD with a $140 1TB Samsung 860 Evo SSD + a ₡36,500.00 1TB Seagate Barracuda mechnical backup hard drive¹ The price for all the guts (not including S+H, taxes, etc.) comes out to ₡623,500.00 + $140 , ~ $1215.

Further work includes making a buy list for I/O devices,² miscellaneous parts,³ and building tools.⁴

1. It was coincidence that the best SSD option I found for myself is the same SSD diana_coman used in her machine. The Seagate Barracuda is a mechnical drive, which should have been obvious given the specs I listed. [↩]
2. Most notably the monitor [↩]
3. Such as an ethernet cable [↩]
4. Such as a screwdriver set and an anti-static device. [↩]
5. ATX Form Factor; 30.5cm x 21.5cm.

   Note: I have to confirm with bestcomputersa the version of the BIOS is from post 2013, otherwise the motherboard will not support the FX-8350. [↩]

6. I need to check this fully modular PSU comes with a sufficient number of the correct cables to connect to every power drawing component I have. [↩]
7. I still need to find thermal paste. [↩]
8. 447mm x 200mm x 428mm [↩]
