I'm looking to build my first computer and I want suggestions for parts and brands. I'm going to to be gaming(BF4, AC4, games like that) and making music with FL Studio 11. I prefer performance over looks. My budget is $1000(Maybe a little over). I also want to easily be able to upgrade when money allows. And if you can fit a decent sound card in there please do. Performance over looks. Best price for performance. Intel over AMD. Thanks in advance!

yes, it is a very good brand, it's cheap because of a current MIR, usually it is more. XFX is now an off branch of seasonic, one of the best PSU makers.
