[EcoMCG]

I am building my first gaming computer and I came across 2 mobos. The ASUS M5A78L or should I pick the MSI 970A-G43. Please explain why I should pick either of them.

If you only can pick two of them, then get the Asus M5A78L-M/USB3, because the quality, asus does the good job. And have a question, which CPU will you get? FX6300 or FX8 series?
Here is some info (power phase count, heatsinked, etc.) for the MB. https://spreadsheets.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?key=0AgN1D79Joo7tdE9xMUFlMEVWeFhuckJEVF9aMmtpUFE&gid=0

AND ALSO WHAT KIND OF HDD SHOULD I GET TOO? I AM SWITCHING FROM THE ONE I HAVE NOW 😀

1) get the HD7770 for the games PC
2) HDD you need the 7200rpm one, not the 5400rpm.
3) Buy the RAM in kits like 2X4GB or 2X8GB because the manufacturer test them in the kits so that they will work with each other.
4) If you live near the microcenter, then you can go to the store for good deal, I mean pick up only. http://www.microcenter.com/site/products/amd_bundles.aspx
