I've selected 2 different potential builds I've assembled, I was questionable on a few things which I will bold print the parts I'm leaning towards.
CPU:
Intel i5-3350P 3.1(3.3 Turbo) GHz vs. AMD Vishera FX-8320 3.5(4.0 Turbo) GHz
Memory:
Corsair VenganceDual Channel 8GB 2x4GB vs. Patriot Viper Dual Channel 8GB 2x4GB
GPU:
AMD XFX Raedon 8780 vs. EVGA 660(Non-Ti)
Hard Drive:
Seagate Barracuda 1TB @ 7200 RPM vs. Western Digital Black 1TB @7200 RPM
Case:
Cooler Master HAF 912 Black vs. NZXT M59
Motherboard:
ASUS P8Z77 V-LE (Intel Chip) vs. ASUS M5A99X EVO
PSU:
Corsair CX600W vs. Rosewill Green RG630W
I'm set on the CoolerMaster 212 EVO CPU cooler for whichever CPU I get, and I'm pretty set on the Kingston HyperX 120GB SSD.

Parts Preferences: by brand or type: Intel or AMD is fine CPU wise, Nvidia and AMD are also fine for GPU, I like corsair for memory patriot as well, WD for HDD, ASUS and ASrock for Mobo, Rosewill, Corsair, Thermaltake, or DiabloteK for PSU, Fine with any case.
