The parts are picked out for the most part, just need a few more to complete the build.
Purchase Time: This week if at all possible.
Country of Origin: USA
Budget: $900 or less, really would like to keep it low if possible.
Uses: Gaming
Games: Minecraft, Borderlands 1 and 2, Saint's Row 3 and 4, Command and Conquer 3, Sims 2 and 3, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, Diablo III w/ upcoming expansion, World of Warcraft
Detail settings: I would love to be able to play at 1080p (monitor's native resolution) and on "High" or higher if possible. Welling to dip lower to maintain at least a 30fps though.
Parts I don't need: Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, OS
Also I hate to say this, but I am limited at where I can buy my parts: Newegg, Amazon, and Tigerdirect are the three choices. really. I would really prefer all of one place though if possible. I also have Amazon Prime, so free 2 day shipping.
I also do not plan on Overclocking.
Here is what I have so far:
PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks
CPU: AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core Processor ($119.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H75 54.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: ASRock 980DE3/U3S3 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($77.55 @ Newegg)
Memory: Mushkin Silverline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($76.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($64.99 @ Newegg)
Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 7870 2GB Video Card ($209.99 @ Newegg)
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (Red) ATX Mid Tower Case ($89.98 @ Newegg)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 600W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224DB/BEBE DVD/CD Writer ($19.99 @ Newegg)
Total: $809.46

$847.96 before rebates ($50 in rebates) and shipping fees
Decided on the FX-6300 because when gaming I'm not doing much else. And I don't have much interest in BF4 or anything like that.
Went with the CPU cooler as it had paste already applied, if there is something cheaper with paste pre-applied that would be awesome!
Would like a modular psu to allow for as clean of a interior as well as allow for max airflow.
Any suggestions for this build is greatly appreciated! I am not a fanboy of anything, but am trying to keep the cost down, while keeping cool at the same time.
I went with 2 sticks instead of a single stick because I wanted a little backup, if 1 stick fails I will at least still have 4GB Ram instead of nothing at all. (Unless we did 2x8GB then I'd be all for that.
I AM completely open to suggestions though so please, shoot them my way. I just kind of had an idea in mind too. That was "Christine" (props if you get the reference) if not, it's Stephen King's "Christine".
Thank you for all your help!
