OK, here is the Intel Build. Total cost $844.93. Sorry, I didn't leave a lot of room for cosmetics. Sorry about that, but this is a really good build.

I got you the 2500 because I didn't think that you would want to overclock. Which made it 10 dollars cheaper. But still, and extremely good CPU. This is a little bit like my build, and I am very happy with it. Except mine was $1700. This should be able to run anything at high to max settings without even struggling. Also, it will outperform that AMD processor by a lot. Hope you like it.

all of the problems were with the integrated sound chip. i have my own pci express sound card. soo all those 1 eggs dont apply to me at all

don't get corsair ram, I have it and they are huge, with a aftermarket fan you will only be able to fit 2 ram sticks in . I would just get a reliable good ram thats a good size, do you really need 16gb of ram? [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

EDIT:guy above don't get 1866 memory frequency for your ram, you might as well save 15$ buying the 1600 memory frequency ram I listed, you should get the 2500k though in-case you ever decide to overclock your system the 2500 won't be able to compared the the 2500k which can overclock really easy.

Well think about this. That 2500 beats AMD's best 8 core processor. And that is only an i5. I don't even want to talk about the i7's. They just dominate. I was going to give you an Ivy Bridge build, but that was too expensive. I also used that case that you had, because I know that you liked the look of it, otherwise you wouldn't have chose it. Also, unless you are going to be doing a lot of video rendering, then there is no need for 16GB of RAM. 8GB is fine for you. Plus, that RAM has really good speed. I also used the GPU that you chose because I have the HIS IceQ X 6950 2GB, and I LOVE it. I can play EVERYTHING at max settings. The hard drive isn't too big, but it has good speed. And I am hoping that it should be enough, depending on what you are going to be using your PC for. Here is my build in case you are wondering, I have been talking a lot about it: Forums/t=3347086.html

Decent build but yer processor is pretty crap mite wanna think about get a better one

if thats the crappy cpu and graphics card you want why buy such a dear board and to be honest you wont need six cores unless you are rendering multimedia, if your gaming the most cores a modern game uses is 3 4 with some modification to the way the game plays but its only with certain game, get a new fx quad core which isnt that much dearer but much better, as for your psu dont buy a small brand name as they are usually very unstable buy a corsair 600 builder edition or something close to to that.my pc is better than this and it only cost me $775.68(i changed currency for you as im from the uk)just a sugestion get this casehttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811235034&Tpk=zalman%20z11%20plus just a bit extra but the build in fans are quite low sound and the anti-vibration hdd mounting is amazing for a case this cheap. cpu i would get [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] make sure if you do decide on this you will need an am3+ m/board
