First time Build help

[Yodamustibe]

Hey everyone,

I'm upgrading to a Desktop because I'm starting to not be able to play newer games coming out anymore on my laptop.  This is my first time building a Desktop and as such no very little about the subject and basically was reading articles for every piece that I needed.  Could anyone take a look at the build I put together?  I plan on using it mostly for gaming but plan on going into the IT field as a Server Admin so I might use it for some purposes related to that.  I would like to get the price down if at all possible as it seems quite high in regards to other builds I've seen on the forums although I would rather bite the bullet now and get a good PC that I won't have to upgrade for the next ten years if possible.  Thanks in advance for all your help.


Currency:                      $US
Main Focus:                  Gaming   

Secondary use:             Running a light server

Monitors:                       1 at first plan on getting a second at a later date
Reason for Upgrading:  Laptop getting old / Would like an actual desktop instead of a laptop sitting on a desk

Thanks this seems way better than what I had picked out.  Is there any good cpu to swap the amd though I've had a few friends give me horror stories about trying get thier stuff fixed or shipped to them.

AMD isn't the one that directly ships it to you, that's the website/store and courier. whatever they have complaints on is on them and not AMD.
