Ok so this is my first time that im gonna try and build a computer. My budget is $600-$800 Before I start anything I want to inform that I have a computer and recently upgraded stuff and im wondering if its worth it to do this for crhistmas. I have a AMD Radeon HD 6770 Vapor-X Graphics Card From Sapphire. I also Have bought (G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL) Ram and a amd phenom 955 black edition proccesor , CW 500 WATT power supply from corsair. I wanted some help on figuring out what to get and i have some ideas I need help on some components of the pc and how to put them in.

My Current Computer:

Computer: Lenovo H215
OS: Windows 7
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ955FBGMBOX
Graphics: SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100328VXL Radeon HD 6770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Power Supply: CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 V2 500W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Memory/Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL

My New Computer Idea:

Case: Unknown
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V LE LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
OS: Windows 7
CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I72600K
Graphics: (Crossfire X2) SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100328VXL Radeon HD 6770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card
Power Supply: Unknown
Memory/Ram: (X2) G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL
Hard Drive: Unknown
DvD Rom: Unkown

Is there any way I can get something like this for $800 The intel i7 I saw some that were like in the $250s so I dont know the difference but please tell me if theres a lower priced one and the unknown means I need some information on what to get and make it fit my budget area please.

You can save $100 straight away by using the 2500K which games just as well

Since you are sticking with AMD you should only buy a motherboard that supports the AM3+ bulldozer processors that should be released in the next couple of weeks . Fortunately your Phenom will also run in the new mb's .

Ideally a mb with a 970 or 990 series chipset

What is your budget?
