Please look over my build

[Johnny1452]

Hi guys,

I am putting together my own computer for the first time and I was hoping that someone could please look over my build and give me some suggestions to fix it.

I do have to note something: I have already purchased the video card and case (it was only $45 when I purchased it, not including the rebate).

Also how is this Newegg combo, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1476959. It seems quite cheap, but I don't know much about it. Should I even consider this deal or just go with the 8350?

Most of the parts that I have listed below are just placeholders for better suggestions and better deals throughout the month.

Seems like a solid build.

I would go with the 8350 over that bottom end i5 combo.

Go with the AMD build! You would definitely get better performance w/ the AMD build.
