First off thanks a lot of the feedback,
So you don't necessarily need two video cards? I keep seeing best builds have two or a two in one GPU?
And you think AMD is better for my price range for a gaming PC? All I keep seeing is i5 this, or i7 that.
If you plan on gaming on a single screen and with resolutions less than or equal to 1080p, then a single powerful GPU can pull it off. It would be better if you get two AMD GPUs but that will add to the cost a lot plus you have to buy a PSU which can deliver at least 600w.
Yes, I think AMD is better for you because even though Core i5s are better than AMD FX 83xx processors in gaming but the difference is not noticeable as a FX processor can deliver 60+FPS in all games unlike Core i5s which can deliver 70+ FPS. Further, anything above 60 FPS is not suitable for playing games. In tasks other than gaming a FX 83xx processor performs equal or better than Core i5s because of its 8 cores. Above all, AMD FX 83xx processors are cheaper too. So, they make a more balanced deal.
A GPU plays more important role in games than a CPU so, I recommend you to buy 8GB of RAM instead of 32GB and buy that AMD HD 7950 XT as X79 said. I missed that RAM thing in his build.
