Build Me A System for $1000

[Luke Ax]

I'm trying to replace my current system with something new. I will not need a tower, HDD, or Video Card. I need you guys to give me ideas on a CPU, Motherboard, and RAM. I want to keep it under $1000. Let me know what you have!

Note. I'm going AMD.

Don't need to break the piggy bank for just these few parts, here is just a standard setup with a good air cooler on it. If you don't like the look of the board I would suggest the sabertooth and switch up the ram color to match. 8 gb of ram is enough for now unless you are going to get into editing then i would order 16 gb
