Approximate Purchase Date: before black Friday sales end actually on Friday would be the best sales? I'm not sure

Budget Range: $500 willing to go a bit further but it might mean I miss out on WII U black Friday sales and I prefer not to deal with mail in rebates

System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, watching movies

Are you buying a monitor: eventually just getting the other more expensive parts during black Friday is my biggest concern

Parts to Upgrade: not really upgrading but trying to piece together a new comp during these black Friday sales as my current computer is a laptop so I cant use any parts from it.

Do you need to buy OS: Yes unless I can download it somehow or the Asus window 7 factory restore disk from my laptop would work

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Ive think Ive read to browse newegg.com first and then actually buy the parts at tigerdirect.com for cheaper pricing

Location: - Baltimore, MD , US

Parts Preferences: I don't really care but my friend recommended an i5 at least so I thought maybe I could get something about as good as a i7, but I am leaning more toward AMD processors because they tend to be a little cheaper

Overclocking: I don't think I should be worried about this

SLI or Crossfire: Ive thought about it and I think I want to have room in my computer to use crossfire some months down the road maybe if I end up playing more heavily graphical games at some point

Your Monitor Resolution: I guess something as big as my current monitor would be good 17.3 inch laptop

Additional Comments: if the desktop ends up any louder than my current laptop or is likely to produce a lot of heat I may want to install liquid cooling.

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: to play phantasy star online 2 with my friends either when its US released or on a JP server with a english patch my laptop scored rather poorly on the benchmark test for it. So far I have pieced together these parts

I just want to be sure everything's compatible Ive done a bit of research and its a bit confusing but I think this 20+4 pin power supply should fit together with this mother board and supply more than enough power I'm just hoping I can get a 700 dollar computer setup for about 500 bucks during these black Friday sales but these parts are kinda already pushing me to 500 without the hard disk and ram etc I actually used this guide for starting my build based off of the 700$ setup and modified it bit to have what I think is a better cpu http://elitegamingcomputers.com/good-cheap-gaming-computers-november-2013/#23

I have edited my post to include the names of the parts and tried to keep it close to the format that was in the sticky for how to ask for help
