    My first pc im gonna make myself

    i personally would go with an Intel CPU like the i5 for your configuration, around same price(i5 650-$185, i5 750-$195). The intels just perform awesome. i5 board- Foxconn P55MX LGA 1156 Intel P55 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail -$95 on newegg. I would also go with 1600MHZ RAM.
