Hey guys it has been a while since I have posted on hear mainly cause I am on deployment and the internet is so slow on here. I am going to do my very first desktop rig. Never have done one before and I need some help. First I am going to list a bunch of parts that where in my price range and I need if possible for you guys to go through them and tell me if they are all compatible, if there is something that is not can you point me in the direction of something that is in either in the same price range or less. Also I dont know anything about which power supplies to use so I am going to need a good recommendation on one form newegg if possible, in the future I plan on putting in a second gpu in later on so if you could point out a power supply that could handle a second card of the same specs as the one I list in the links below. Last if there is anything on here that I am missing that I need to assemble or parts if you could add links so I can get those items for the assembly that would be much appreciated. This is my first time building a desktop and I was just going to buy one pre built but everyone on here recommends building your own and says it is not that hard so I am putting trust into the memebers of this forum:).

And put the $ towards: or similar.

How about with these combos, Plus I was wondering with this mobo will I get full potential out of HDD and will this mobo fit inside this computer case. Finally is there anything else I need for the assembling portion of this computer? Thanks guys.

Don't think that 870 CF's if that matters to you. The 1600 would be oc.

I am new to the building of a computer, honestly I have never even opened one up so I do not understand what that even means, could you explain that to me? Thanks.

1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x16 (PCIEX16)
 1 x PCI Express x16 slot, running at x4 (PCIEX4)

Note: The PCIEX1_1 and PCIEX1_2 slots share bandwidth with the PCIEX4 slot.

Looks like that leaves you with 1 gpu and no CF of second.

I should be good with one gpu right? The one I listed in the build will be able to run 99% of games on a relatively high settings right? If not what cpu and mobo combo would you guys recommend? Mind you I would like to keep it relatively low in price cause I am on a budget. Thanks for nay input.

Yep, good with 1. The rest you might put at the bottom of the thread to get info from those more astute about gpu's., but I think it's safe to say that your gpu is quite good!
With 1 gpu you might find a 500w ps for less than that 850w(which is way overkill).
