I'm on a budget. I'd like to keep the price around $800(less if at all possible). I was thinking Asus motherboard and intel cpu because I hear they are the 'best.'
Excellent Cpu for the price, but I did go with an AsRock motherboard. No loss in quality though, but it is less expensive. AsRock started out as a subsidiary of Asus in fact.
Standard 1600mhz DDR3 Ram, and standard 1tb HDD. Same for the optical drive.
Budget fit a 770 video card which will offer great performance. This particular one is one of the highest stock clocked boards out there.
Nice case for the price, and good deal on the Psu. Great quality, and semi-modular as well.

that is an apu, you have not a cpu, it has built in graphics but is slower than a stand alone cpu such as the fx series, and with you having a graphics card in the list it means you wouldn't be using the built in graphics, so you are paying more for less....
