I'm building a new computer,and it's for gaming.I plan on playing games that require some power.(Metro LL,Tomb raider,Crysis 1 2 3,BF3,ESO,AC3,etc)I plan on using a gtx 690,and when i need to(when playing crysis or better)overclock it.I would like to use an AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8350FRHKBOX.But i'm sorta newbie when it comes to building pc's.I need a motherboard that will run both.If you have any advice or help i'm desperate to hear it.

Hey thanks but i decided my absolute no more spot on budget was 1500 USD and i reallylike the 690 but i can't afford it.I went with the asus M5A97 as motherboard (if that supports) but i need to know what card to use now.(with the Hard drive,motherboard,DR3 ram,and processor it's 488.96)

I'm using the M5A97 right now :p Anyways, I'm building a computer literally right now with it when I try to boot it (This might not be the motherboards fault), it just says P on the screen. Might be video card or something else I'm not sure

I'm not sure, the HDD I'm using is from my last computer that died. So I do not know if that works or not, I'm assuming not. The thing is no matter if I have the HDD plugged in or not it says the same thing so

Windows 7 because my cheap little GPU (That might be the problem) does not support 8

Its not designed to be good, its designed to work and for $10 you can't do any better xD The problem is something isn't working and I'm not sure what.....
