I am going to order parts from newegg.com tonight, so please help me on my system. I also posted earlier, but I really want to hear the experiences from other veterans out there. If you have used any of the parts that i am listing or had any compatibility problems, please post relies. This is my first build, so please give me advices. Issues with AMD and Intel, well, I have no preference whatsoever, but I am just leaning toward AMD.

My parts are

with all the discounts, it all adds up to $800. please give me advice on compatibility and any concerns. Thank you so much!!!
 
My only concern would be the AMD proc in the intel market. Really you have to be a big fanboi to not go intel ATM because of how the price/performance ratio is for both.
 
yea. I already ordered my parts and receive all but my processor. My processor is shipped from CA and it will be here Tuesday. Well, I haven't had chance to run the computer because I don't have the processor. I am not being a fan boy for any, I am just leaning toward to AMD due to some personal reasons. Well, I set up all the parts and I just have to put in processor for my computer to work. Thanks for caring!

Actually, with AMD's prices, their processors aren't bad either. The 6000+ for that price is great.
 
i bought the 5600+ just haven't got a chance to use it yet, in benchmarks with factory clocks the 5600-6000 and e6600 are about neck to neck

yea, but if you are a gamer, you get sneaky back slap from your electricity bills -.-... I know they dont use that much power, but AMD processors have bad control of Volts the take in so they will use about 1/3 more the power the other processor uses...

 
help please. I got all my parts, but the computer refuses to turn on. I checked every connections, reconnect every connections, but it refuses to turn on. There is a blue light on the motherboard when I turn on the PSU, but when I press the power button, nothing comes on. Please help.
