My friend and I are both trying to build gaming pc around now coming into beginning of the holiday season.

His only requirements are:

Modular power supply

No need to over clock

Budget of about 900-1000

No monitor or windows needed

Please post either some intel or amd builds

Best for the money, no matter what brands

Before everyone starts crying "ASROCK IS SHIT!!!!!!" let me tell you they are not. I have an AsRock Pro3 and a Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H, and I can get higher overclocks on the AsRock, the BIOS isn't buggy and it actually saves my settings.
