Can you add to the above link for no greater than a price of $1200 (so about $700-$800 for the parts) to complete my gaming build. I already have a mouse. Also, any comment on the choice of peripherals? I do plan on possibly getting a headset in the future, but I'll stick with speakers and the webcam for now. Any feedback would be appreciated! Thank you!

If you feel this is out of your budget you could get a 380x though I recommend just spending a little more and getting the 390, you will not regret it.

Really he is being a fanboy?

All he said was he thinks an fx is a bad idea because no upgrade path and an i5 beats an fx 8320 fro gaming, that's a fact not being a fanboy

I included an overclocking system, but you can get a better deal if you buy Microcenter bundle (CPU + mobo) . However, this is a great system.

The Intel CPUs have stronger single core performance and are the better choice for a gaming system. I am in no way saying amd CPUs are bad, they are just slightly outdated. Until amd releases new CPUs to compete with Intel, an Intel i5 is the sweet spot for a gaming computer, and the upgrade path is much better.
