First Build Advice
#1
So my shitty laptop is finally on its last legs and I feel its time to lay it to rest and build a tower.
It's my first time doing this so any and all of my choices in items are suspect.
What i'm looking for is recommendations for components that have the same or near same performance
And maybe saving a little money if the performance cut isn't that huge.
I'm open for any suggestions as i'm sure you guys know a lot more than I do

Here's my faggot list

Ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820231311
Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6822136284
CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6819115074
MoBo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6813131700
GFX: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814130571
Power Supply: Not sure how much I need different people tell me different things

First of all, what is your price range? Also, are you set on intel/nvidia or would you go with amd on either?

I'm trying to stay under 900 if possible

Well, you'll go past 900 when your cpu+mobo is 500. As cahn said, you'd be better off with a mobo in the 150-200 range.

I like amd more because its cheaper and cooler. I'm in the market for a new gpu but i'd never get a housefire.

staying below $900... spending $300 on mobo... look of disapproval
get a cheaper mobo and spend the money on better cpu/gpu

or a case since those can be reused for multiple builds/forever

I have a like new full case from a friend who just buys stuff and never follows thru on finishing shit.
What combo of board and cpu would you guys recommend if I were to stay intel ?
