CPU: AMD FX-4170
GPU: Powercolor Radeon HD7870 GHz Edition 2GB
MOTHERBOARD: ASRock 970 Extreme4 Motherboard
PSU: OCZ Fatal1ty Series 750W Modular
CASE: Sharkoon T28 Red Case USB 3.0
SSD: OCZ Agility 3 60GB SSD
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB ST1000DM003
RAM: G.Skill Ares F3-1600C9D-8GAO 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3

total cost: $865 from pccasegear.com
already have monitor, keyboard, mouse and OS. I juat want to make sure i am getting the best value for my money and that all parts will be compatible.

The FX-4170 isn't a gaming CPU, if you want AMD, the Phenom II x4 would be better.
The Fatal1ty series isn't that great either.
OCZ Agility 3 kinda has a bad reputation for having high failure rates.

i was debating getting an intel cpu but looking at benchmarks from various different websites it seems i would pay 2x as much for only slightly better performance.

Even at 4.5ghz, the FX41XX gets embarrassed in gaming by a stock dual core 3.1ghz i3-2100. GHZ has nothing to do with performance anymore, it's all about architecture.

If you want to build a budget gaming machine, forget the FX41XX and go with a i3-2120. Mobo's start at just $59 and are upgradable to Ivy Bridge.

♦ first you should change this cpu with any intel i5.
♦ second no need for 750 watt psu unless you want to crossfire. (600 watt is enough)
♦ make sure you know the length of the gpu to see if it will fit into your case or not.

=congratulations you can play any game in ultra @1080p ;)
