Hey, currently looking for a gaming PC, but the thing is, I would want to wait out on the video card since I'm set on buying a maxwell video card. Just looking for a nice set up that can use the maxwell card when it comes out. My budget includes the video card itself so it will cost probably 250$ and I'm also looking for a 1080p monitor which is included in the budget, so suggestions please. :3 Thanks!

Hey, thanks for building me a pc.

Just a few questions, is the motherboard a decent one? I'm not really familiar with that mobo.
And why intel? =) Just wondering as I can see most people suggest the fx-8350 instead.

what about this build (you can sell the GPU when Maxwell series comes out and buy one of them)
