     Since some pretty bad stuff has happened in the past 3 days (not in the mood to share). I went to a PC shop in Vegas while I was there, got a A8-6600k Black Edition, a 500gb hdd, along with a Mouse, Keyboard mouse pad combo for $200. I have this planned out to replace my old PC that I had plans for. I also need some advice for a few parts

  • motherboard
  • case
  • monitor(1080p IPS)
  • CPU cooler

For all about no more than $325, I am in need of parts and can't find the right ones to fit in this price range, any suggestions on parts that will match will be greatly appreciated.

Well, in this case.  I was choose some really decent parts but it costs like $30 over your budget, which is no problem it can be sorted out by going with a slightly cheaper motherboard.  But I chose these:

 

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

 

It works, well... its cheap, and quiet...  what more could you want?

 

Asus F2A85-M PRO Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard

 

It supports everything you'll need, it supports 2400mhz memory.  Its made by Asus it supports allot of memory so its all good.

 

Cooler Master N200 MicroATX Mid Tower Case

 

Its a nice MATX case, its cheap and its flexible so you can add a water cooler and even a completly beastly system in here in the future.

 

Asus VG23AH 23.0" Monitor 

 

it costs a bit, but its 23 inches, 1080p and IPS just like you wanted :)

 

 

Base Total: $384.96   Mail-in Rebates: -$50.00   Shipping: $19.99   Total: $354.95

Thanks, I'm going to look into the monitor and cooler, i really like the 212 evo so I'll go with that. I have found a decent motherboard from AsRock and that case is quite nice for the price
