Hey. If you want close this topic and make a new one in the tech forum or wait for a proper mod to move this for you.

Anyway don't bother with AMD unless you are a fan of theirs. Intel's current SB line is a far better option. I see other issues with this too from the PSU to the HDD. If you answer the questions below I'll make up a proper build for you.

If possible please answer the questions from this topic (http://www.planetside-universe.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37183) too.

Man you missed the i5-2500k deals. They were selling them for like 150 USD at a lot of places. Down from the normal 210 USD price tag. It's like 40 USD more than the processor you chose though so that's a problem. Decent video card though. 1300 ram is good enough. Bad HD choice.

Don't forget tax though. It's more like $160 when you add in tax. Still a good deal.
