So I discovered this great website awhile back called Pc Part Picker, basically it gives you a list of all parts you've selected, their price, a link showing their features and the vendor that has the lowest price. It has a button to use BBcode so that it's viewable in the forum.

This is my build from a few months ago. As you can see it's a lot easier to read than a few of the builds posted here linking each part. The only complaint I have is that sometimes the info given for the part isn't very complete.

Definitely recommend using this for any builds being posted here.

P.S. You can also search for parts from a specific website (e.g. Newegg) if you want to buy from one place.

P.P.S. You can also save builds on the site if you create an account.

Yep, it's the easiest thing to do, for anyone wondering why I have been using it, is because it's so much cleaner and easier.
Basicly, of you going to give advice on a build use this.

OP: why would you put a z68 build, 1333 Ram with a build using a 3570K?

Woops, this is an older version of the build I did, ending up going with Extreme4 z77 and 1600Mhz RAM. Updated the build to show that.

You forgot to delete the other RAM, LOL.
