Regarding the power supply thing, I was thinking about potentially swapping over my Thermaltake 650W but in a new build I figured I should go full-modular

EVGA doesn't really make entry-level boards. If you look at their cheapest stuff, they come with quality parts. They also have a near-cult following on their forums. It's rather strange.
This. ALL OF MY THIS.
LOL
I honestly can't take you seriously. Your 1.8k build has a 8350. WTF.
EDIT: Also, this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/MBYkHN will smash your list.

It's downright hilarious how much better this is, while still being cheaper.

It's not like I chose cheap parts too. Some of the stuff on that list can be shaved down to something a bit cheaper.
I really don't understand how @The VCR King managed to build a parts list with a 8350 that costs 1.8k.
You also picked out a case that has front usb 3 ports but the motherboard doesn't have a usb 3 header. Yeah, you picked an addin card to give you that functionality but what the hell? Get a board that already supports it and save that money for something else.
Spending $100 in 4 fans? Come on!!!
$63 for a wifi adapter? Get cheaper
Don't need a liquid cooler
SSD - get the samsung 850 evo 500gb and save 50 bucks.
4x4gb memory??? spending $300 What a waste. Only $107 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231589 DDR4 16gb $100 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231878
You really need to learn how to pick parts.
We all know this will never turn into fruition. This thread at this point in time is unnecessary since you aren't even close to be ready to build. If you are set on AMD then you need to get an AM4 build when it comes out.
No more threads until you are really ready to buy parts.

I've built two or three machines with EVGA boards .They are quite nice and very high end.
It sounds like you've had nothing but problems, so why would you stay with that brand?
Per others a new build on AM3+ isn't the best option, especially at the price point you set the build.
Why not? They're just computer parts, you might as well buy the platform that offers you the highest performance for your dollar.
Yet you're an AMD fan with the shitty CPU's they've had over the last few years? LOL
Probably the only reason you don't like Intel is the price. Believe me, they perform a hell of a lot better than AMD at the moment.

Yes, that's the main reason I don't like them.
However, in my "Theory box" I threw together a decent LGA2011-3 based build, and its around $1500.

You don't need an i7. A decent i5 will be fine. Hell, even if you just got an i7-4790K that would be cheaper than the 6-core you have in that list.Yes, that's the main reason I don't like them.

How much of a performance loss would there be though?
Also the 4790 isn't an option on PCPartPicker
I'll go with the cheapest option, the 5820K on the list.
Also I can't edit all my posts into one for some reason so sorry bout the spam of replies
i5 isnt on the list either, its either an i7, i7 exterme, or a xeon
I really like this EVGA-Corsair LGA2011-3 build I've got going on...
Here's the first Intel build:

And "rev 2" with more Corsair pieces:

I need the video encoding for gaming videos and school projects, and EVGA doesn't have a 1151 board on the part picker
Don't spend money on an EVGA board. Just get a Gigabyte board.

I'll think about it. I really like the look of the EVGA board, it's really sharp!
So your going to spend that much money on a microatx board? Thats all black anyway?
By the way he posted another thread like this back in April.

Told him then to not pick parts until he actually had the money and ready to build. We are wasting our time here now. About ready to close this thread.
Most likely.By then we'll have 3 or 4 socket revisions
