Since you are going to buy in may or june 2013 it is better to start the thread 2 to 3 weeks before the date of purchase so. the prices of the components might change drastically in 2 months and any new components may come...

I have not brought the PC yet. I am in the process of finalizing the components for the PC. Once that is done I will buy them and assemble it.

I hope now you understand why I ask people to fill up the template in the 1st place. Most of the new people are not aware of all the things required for a PC build guidance and we can always guide them properly if he posts in details.
