So far I've got:
Sapphire HD 6950 from Amazon (200 after rebates).
2x4GB DDR3 1600 RAM from Newegg (57)
600W OCZ ModXStream PSU from Newegg (50 after rebates)
Something cheap/good (like Antec 300) (50-70)
What I need help with is the CPU and the Motherboard:
CPU considering: i5-2500K, i5-2400, i5-3450, i5-3550 (160-200, from MicroCenter)
motherboard: ??? (70-90 or close)
Trying to keep the price at about 650, and prioritize around gaming and nothing else. No plans for overclocking. Unlikely to add a second video card.
Any suggestions on the parts choose? And what to pick for CPU and MB?
Thanks in advance.
