I commented in your quote cause I was too lazy to split it up.
Well after a week or so I have done quite a lot of browsing in my free time and this is the list of parts I have come up with:
Case: 49.99$
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147153Always decide on your case later in the process, because honestly, it's all about what's inside it, and you won't really notice the case all that much. You need to know if your stuff will fit in the case, how the cable routing room is, the build quality, if coolers will fit, etc etc.
Power:(650W) 79.99$
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182132Seems a bit overkill TBH, I have a 620W supply with 2 HDDs, a GTX 660, a 6 core amd processor with big ass cooler, an MSI ATX size board, 8 gb of ram and some pretty lights, and based on some research, that peaks full load at 450, 500 if it's feeling frisky.
But also you do NOT want to skimp on your power supply, find a trusted brand with lots of reviews and don't skimp on the price. You don't want a PSU that fries in a month, and might take parts or the rest of your system with it. Get a brand like seasonic, corsair, cooler master. I haven't looked much as rosewill, so do your research. Your PSU here IS modular, make sure if you get another one that it is. Otherwise it will be a nightmare to attempt to cable route.
Hard Drive:(500GB) 59.99$

CD/Burner: 19.99$
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204Not even going to click the link, who the fuck cares.
Processor:(125W) 99.99$
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727I've read lots of good things about this CPU, was thinking of getting it myself (it was a backup to my FX-6200 if I couldn't end up getting it). However it has a pretty big architecture, 45 nm, and is an older CPU, no harm done though.
RAM:(1333Mhz) 45.99$
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145315Personally, I'd get a higher clock ram. I've got myself some 1600 mhz (make sure your mobo supports it, yours says 1600(overclock), not sure if that means it supports 1600mhz by default or not, look into it).
I've got this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6820231416It's $1 more for the same everything except the clock speed. Worth it to me.
BY THE WAY, YOUR MOTHERBOARD HAS A FREE 8 GB G.SKILL RAM LIMITED OFFER
GPU(Radeon 6570)64.99$
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-161-391&SortField=5&SummaryType=0&Pagesize=10&PurchaseMark=&SelectedRating=&VideoOnlyMark=False&VendorMark=&IsFeedbackTab=true&Keywords=%28keywords%29&Page=1#scrollFullInfo nononononono.
For gaming, your gfx is very arguably your best component, you want to spend the majority of your monies here if you can, make sure you also get a trusted brand, I've never even heard of this OEM. Plus it has pretty small vents on the back plate which will probably run hotter, but I can't get a comparison of how good it is, because I don't roll with AMD cards. But it's probably equivalent to an nvidia 560 (wild guess). I can't recofigure your whole rig, but spend more on your gfx if you can. Plus on newegg this GPU is out of stock. Also, this is a pci express 2.1 card, I haven't done too much research, but check if that's compatible with your mobo. Also also, dat bit architecture, pretty damn low. Then again it's an older card and AMD, don't trust me
P.S. Personally unless it has an RMA or couple year warranty, I wouldn't get a refurb GPU, that's just my opinion though. I've heard horror stories.
P.S.S/EDIT: Eldar says HIS is a good brand, and I'm sure eldar has built a good number more computers compared to my 1 system. But still I advise spending more IF possible, and make sure you either get a mainstream trusted brand, or do your research
MotherBoard Considerations:
-ASRock 970 EXTREME3 AM3+
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16813157280(84.99$ + shipping 15$~)
This looks like a decent board. For the price it's loaded plus the free ram that comes with it (if you get through newegg)
Other notes:
You want to make things as future proof as possible, and research as much as possible. I started the goal of making my own computer in april, and actually got the parts and built it at christmas last year. I also learned and had fun the entire way.
I would also invest in an aftermarket cooler, I use something like this, and it keeps my 6 core at a nice 7 degrees idle, and no more than 35 C in any game I've played.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6835103065But get a mobo with expansion options, don't skimp on your PSU, even if it means getting a crappy something else for a while, and the GPU is most important for gaming. As long as you don't have a bottlenecking CPU, which you should be fine with your 965.
Get some gorram thermal paste. You don't want to have your ass in the sand when you go to put your dinky stock cooler on and have no thermal paste, then all of the sudden you can't run the system for a couple weeks while your order some. Also, just put a small pea dot in the middle and push down slowly. I put more like 2 peas and I had some spillage, had to clean the CPU and start over. It really spreads out more than you think.
If you have questions feel free to ask on steam, I didn't have too much time to research into this for you at that.
EDIT: You're not on my steam, well, add me if you have questions: steamcommunity.com/id/43001
This website was SO useful to me. It shows potential issues with your build, filters out what is compatible(IE: select a mobo, and it filters processors that won't fit), and shows some wattage usage information, along with a nice interface.
And honestly, if there's any way you could save up, even just $100 more, it would be worth it.
If you're interested, I think I spent around $1000, monitor and all(I already had a 320 GB HDD for my OS, and a copy of W7) So here's my build:
and my GPU, not a 680, this is just about the best damn system you could build that's not ridiculous. Ofc you could have an SSD, water cooling, SLI 690's, 32 GB of ram (lol why), and a 1250W power supply, but at that point it's just about dick waving, not having a good system.
