Give us a budget and we will come up with something. Shadow is very good so I would really look into what he suggests when you post your budget

Need a budget headphone for under 100$? Sennheiser HD 558 Headphones

yeah we need a budget and a primary use of the system to give you a parts list, unless you know what you want generally speaking just make sure when you build your system has atleast a 80 plus certified or better psu, make sure whatever motherboard you get has good ratings and you check the motherboards revision(typical will show where the audio capacitors are on the motherboard (ex: Rev. 1.0), and read reviews as long as out of 20 buyers only 5 or less are bad and the rest are good(ex: z170-e ASUS has 34 reviews in total on newegg and has 30 good reviews and only 4 bad(only the ones who post DOA are the ones i count as bad) so its really only 2 bad reviews out of the 30, generally speaking its a good board) use this as a base for building you pc, not that specific board but any as long as the reviews meet up to the less then 5 out of 20 guideline i say for mobos, and read if the cpu and ram are supported by the board right from the start, you can do so by looking up the model number of the board and looking on there supported CPU/RAM chart. Hope this helps
