Hello,

as mentioned in the title, I am building a PC from scratch. I need help in deciding a few things/parts that I have no knowledge about. Here goes,

CPU - Intel i7 2600k
Motherboard - Asus p8p67 PRO
HDD - WD 500GB caviar black SATA III
PSU - Coolermaster 550w

Above are the parts that I have decided on. I will need help and advices on casing, SATA III SSD and which corsair DDR3 2x2GB 1600mhz RAM to choose.

While Intel chips generally perform slightly better than their AMD counterparts, sometimes it is questionable whether or not the slight performance gain will be worth the large price increase. Considering all things, it may be possible to build an AMD system for significantly less than a nearly comparable intel system.

As far as the asus board, that's a decent selection. Look at their lineup of AMD boards. And the solid state storage would definitely be a good idea considering how inexpensive they are becoming, and how much faster they are than conventional platter drives
