750$ is the budget for the whole system I presume ?

[Andster29]

Yes that is for everthing but the less the total price is the better.

With that budget, is there any reason you're going with a athlon processor? Get an 8350, and you can build a nice computer within that budget.

[Andster29]

You have good point but thd person I am building this for wants to spend as little as possible for a decent gaming rig and does not want to spend more then $750.

Buy a new processor and motherboard (asrock fatality)..... You have alot of money anyway...

i'm just giving my opinion because you have a lot of money, or if you want to buy motherboard only, go for asrock 970 extreme3 r2.0.. great for money and also capble of sli and crossfire..
