Alright so this is going to be my first build ever and ive been researching tons of info the past two weeks. I want to overclock my computer with the i5-2500k but im pretty much lost on the MOBO and Graphics card. One minute i see high reviews on Radeon cards and the next I see good reviews on GTX (AMD right?) cards. I am going to have to buy everything for this computer right down to the mouse and keyboard (Had a laptop for 5 years). Dont worry about adding in the Mouse and keyboard or Moniter (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236049) in the Price. Im going to run this computer off of Windows 7 64 bit. I wanted to at least have a 128gb SSD if not a 64/60 gb would work i guess. And most likely get a 1tb HDD. I will post a build im Somewhat leaning towards.
