okay i found a computer build here that i saw and fit into my budget. After 3 nights of research and a couple of hours of videos, I learned quite a bit. I have like 50 bucks more than the budget so i wanted to upgrade to a different memory card and motherboard from the build i found, but now I'm worried about compatibility.

The video card is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202004
the hdd http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822145299
the OD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106276
the psu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026
the processor is going to be http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116405
the memory based of the reviews and research is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428

now for motherboard, which of the three is best bang for its buck/compatible?

I'm pushing my budget here to the dollar... please try to keep it all in the same price range.


P.s. its 3:30 am and I'm extremely tired so excuse my typing. Also thanks in advance for your help, I can't find a way to repay you for your time. Thanks again.

Don't cheap out on the hard drive - you really don't want it to fail.

I'd look at an Antec earthwatts psu; it'll be more reliable than that model, as it's not the 'fixed' v2.

I'd look at getting the ivy bridge Pentium instead; it'll be a fair bit faster. (If you do that and go with the AsRock board, you're golden.)

well the revision is all here

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zxOK

i decided to go with amd and am3+ mobo so i can upgrade down the line. I'm getting the 6core wich has near perfect reviews (being a beginner my foundation are reviews)

I'm maxed out budget wise at this point i'm trying to find cut backs - but i think il stick it out and go the extra dollar with this.
at 550 after rebates i'm $50 over and $80 before rebates so it's gona be tough. but i did get a 6core 3.3ghz and an 4 slot am3+ motherboard so the lifespan is pretty good for me.
