So basically, I have decided to take a step up in my computer. I have decided that I will build one! The task is quite daunting, and the only trouble I am having is knowing what Power Supply to get. I have no Idea about wattage and volts and all that stuff. Can you recommend what kind of power supply I should get? Will I need to get a CPU fan, or does it come with it? Any suggestions for the build? Here are the specs:

This includes my recommended power supply. Will get you MUCH better gaming performance, and much better CPU performance. Actually came in $25 under what yours added up to, is right at $540 with a power supply :)

Oh, wow! Amazing! I think that you have just found the parts to my new rig! Thanks a bunch. This is probably better than what I would have been able to choose.

Although this is a great build, the original one included the monitor. Here there is no monitor. I don't already have a monitor, so I think that the build needs to come to about $400.

Sorry about that, didn't catch the monitor. Drops a little bit in performance, but the 7770 GHz is still great for the money.

Do you think that you could find a build that includes a monitor? Sorry to rely on you like this, but I really have no idea what i'm doing when it comes to building computers.

No problem lol BenQ is a great brand for monitors, and 1080p is a good resolution. Should get decent graphics with this card at that resolution :) Should get you medium-high in everything, and some games at Ultra, depending on what FPS you want :) http://www.anandtech.com/show/5541/amd-radeon-hd-7750-radeon-hd-7770-ghz-edition-review/17
