Do this. Just stick with AMD, it leaves more budget for the rest of your build.

Can someone cut the price to 650? Thats my max budget, and if you do, i might go AMD.

When quoting, go to the very end and start typing I got confused.
Anyways, just change the HDD to a $55 barracuda (pcpartpicker glitched I think), change the MoBo to a Extreme3 (There is very little difference, not even noticeable tbh), consider changing RAM to a 1 x 8GB from Axevir, and you'd be just under budget I think
(yes, I know the RAM is slightly slower, but he can OC it, and latency isn't THAT noticeable tbh)
