This is what I've come up with for a $800 gaming rig. My setup will be connected to a 42” Panasonic Viera I have all my wireless peripherals, and I have an OS. Aside from gaming I will need to use the computer for art design. (not sure which programs I will get yet.)
I’ve browsed the forums a bit and I have shopped around Newegg. (This is the site I prefer to buy from.)
I don’t really plan on overclocking or SLI at this time.
Here are my two links from pcpartpicker:
ASrock/CoolMaster : http://pcpartpicker.com/p/io6d
Gigabyte/Roswill: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/io7D

Could you please explain the difference between these two mobo’s?
I’m leaning toward the CM case, but Roswell seems nice too. Any way you guys can help me choose? (I like multiple USBs and hard drives.) This is my first time custom building so I want the case to last awhile.
I think I’ve gotten it as close as I can to $800 but if there is anyway we can shave off some $$ I might be able to upgrade another part with that $20 or so.
(Pretty much all my questions have been answered, I'll keep this post up for a bit for feedback, opinions or if anyone finds a sweet bundled deal.)
