Additional Comments: Basically looking for a mobo to support all the parts I have so far, ram that fits that, and a psu with enough juice to power it all. A little on the fence about the hard drive, can't decide if I should throw the hybrid in my laptop and get an ssd for the new one.

Thanks for any advice!

For a feature packed and budget MOBO, look no further than the Asrock Z68 extreme 3 Gen 3. $129

as for your power supply, I can recommend an Antec High current Gamer 620W power supply or a SeaSonic M12II 620W Bronze-$89

Ram I say for a system like yours just pick up 8 GB of Corsair Vengeance RAM. $45ish

Thanks for the reply! I went with most of the suggestions and am very happy with the performance so far.

Went with the Asrock Z68 extreme 3 Gen 3, SeaSonic M12II 620W Bronze, and 16 GB of G-Skill RAM.
