I was wondering if any of you knew a great setup for someone who is new to building computers.
So far, I have found a couple of things that look good, but I am in no way an expert on computers and their inner workings.

Components
Processor-Intel Core I5-4590 $200
Motherboard-ASUS H97-Plus $110
Memory 4 slots-Kingston hyper X(x4) $172-(Was wondering if I needed to fill up every slot or not?)
Hard Drive-Seagate Barracuda 1 tb(x2) $110-(Same question as Memory)
Case-Graphite 730t- $120
Sentry Power Supply 725W PC- $40
Total:about 800
Still trying to figure out Graphics cards.
Budget:1000-1200

This will be an absolute beast of a machine which will allow you to max out all games at 1080p
