I have an $800 spending budget for my gaming rig.  I have been looking through many websites, forums, videos but I'm still in the gray about what to get.  I am still undecided if I want an AMD or Intel based cpu.  Now this will be my first gaming pc that I build so im hoping for good results but I know me and ill mess up somewhere and get the wrong parts. Now I'm building this pc because I want something of my own to say that i built that and now some mainstream pc on the market. I am open for suggestions and even tips on what to buy.  I do hope to get this pc built by the next 2 weeks.... ;)  and will keep you updated with what I get. Cheers :lol: B)

It's $50 over but it will be very powerful.

And there are small cutbacks you could make anyway
