Well i am going to be ordering parts for a new computer as i speak. And no i don't want any replys that say OMG YOU SHOULD OF WENT AMD. So yeah here is the setup that i am going to be buying. I would like some feedback on if you have had any problems with these parts and if one of these parts is not good or i should upgrade. My absolute budget is 700$ so if you add parts make sure you do'nt go over the budget.
