Basic cpu build

Both Gigabyte and MSI make good boards, get whichever is cheapest in your price range.

SSD wise, I always recommend going for at least 120GB now. 64GB is probably a bit on the small side. Assuming you're referring to the Crucial M4, the Samsung SSDs are a bit faster (I used to own an M4 and it was fast though, don't get me wrong).

You are correct, I have a new 64GB Crucial I posted here for sale.
 
So here is an update, I'm kinda bummed out. I bought the following;

CM 120 elite case $40.00
AMD 810 5800K $100.00
Cosair H60 $59.00 - 20.00 mir
MSI FM2-A75ma-35 $60.00
Corsair CX430M $49.99-20mir
Samsung 840 120GB $100.00
LG 24X DVD $15.00
Gskill 8gb 2133 $65.00
Artic silver pro $7.99
Win7 $90.00

I went to assemble today and can anyone guess what happened???? The MOBO will not fit. This is my fault The CM120 elite only supports mini ITX and not MATX. So I will have to return the MOBO and get another, unfortunately there is not alot to choose from in a mini ITX. Here are the 3 from NE, and MC only has one;

BTW when I went to MC, I told him the build and he said "yeah for sure it will all fit"..... Guess he just wanted his sale urghhhh. Again my fault I should have done better research.
 
I should start a new thread with pics. for people, but for now my windows experience index is;

7.3 cpu
7.4 ram
6.9 graphics
6.9 gaming
7.9 HD

I was reading if I were to get a 6670 and crossfire my graphics/gaming would jump to a 7.3...... I was thinking to pick one up for fun although I'd never utilize it.

Pretty solid. The WEI isn't the best benchmark. Try running the Black Hole that's in the CPU section of the forum. That will give you a comparison for your CPU power since that what you seem to be focusing on.

And pics are needed. :D You can just post them here if you want.
