    [SOLVED] What good computer parts can I get for about $750

    I'm planning on completely improving my PC near the end of August. By then I'll have about $750 to put into components for my PC; all I need is a CPU, RAM GPU, and a motherboard. I'm keeping my current power supply which is the EVGA 600 BR 80+. I'd prefer Intel but I'm fine having an AMD powered PC.
