Hello, this is actually my second topic after deciding to try building a new desktop rather than get a pre-built. After pricing considerations i decided to use an AMD build for my CPU and M. Board. I'm looking to try and save a few $$ on this build but i do want to keep the quality high. I'm new to this whole process so I'm especially interested in compatibility issues with the M. Board and it's chipset, does my PSU have the juice for this setup (does it have enough wires/connectors i've been a lil nervous after realizing most hard drives don't come with the wires)
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: ASAP/this week
BUDGET RANGE: Current list is within my budget,
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, nothing crazy high end but WoW and probably TF2, surfing the internet and watching videos
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: I'll grab a mouse/keyboard and speakers separately
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
PARTS PREFERENCES: No real preferences, just want quality that will last
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe, have to get it built and working but i think i grabbed parts that can handle it
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920 x 1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Like i said quality is big to me, i dont have to have the cutting edge stuff but i want a well balanced machine that's gonna last
