Hello,
Approximate Purchase Date: A.S.A.P
Budget Range: 1200$-1500$
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, watching videos, browsing web.
Parts Not Required: Monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon
Country: U.S.A.
Parts Preferences: Intel Cpu, Nvidia gpu
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments:I have never built a computer before and I mostly want one to play computer games and watch videos on platforms such as youtube. I am pretty much 100% certain that I will be getting an i5 2500k for my cpu. I am also getting a corsair 850w modular psu(mostly because it's barely more expensive than a 850w on Amazon.) and for a heatsink im going to get the hyper 212+. But my certainty ends there. My friend recomended me this motherboard.

I don't know much about motherboards nor do I have a prefencerence towards any brand but I dont like the fact that its a Micro. So if anyone had any suggestions for another one that would be much appreciated. For my case I can't decide between the corsair graphite 600t and the NZXT full tower phantom. I would probably go with the phatom because its cheaper and looks better. Again, any recommendations on anything else would be great. For RAM, I was thinking 8gb or 16gb and I read up and found out that 8gb is plenty for gaming, but should I or can I get one stick of 8gb and later upgrade to 16? Once more, advice or suggestions are highly appreciated. I really have no idea on a graphics card. I was originally thinking of a gtx 560 ti hawk, but the same friend that recommended the motherboard told me that its overpriced for it performance and that dual 460's hawks would be better. But I am worried they wont fit on the microboard. As for HDD im think of something around 1tb but i may only go with 500gb b/c they are priced so high right now. Lastly, for a disk drive ill get anything really its not that important.
