This is the stuff i have got together. I have a price limit of $690. My plan is to upgrade through the years. I am going to use the PC for gaming like Skyrim, WoW, and other stuff. I want to be able to run the games on hi or above. So here are the links... Thanks guys!

Note: i need help finding a motherboard that wont blast the price through the roof.

I hope to overock it but the CPU u listed is fanominal. And how do u find such good mobos? I could not find anything cheaper than 100! So 4gb of ram will be enough?

Edit could possibly give links to the things I can change to? Also, does fry's have this stuff cause the shipping is gonna be a bitch!

Ok. I want to get this processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819106009

But I'm not sure about the mother board... I don't want an expensive one but I do need 2 PCI 16 slots for future dual gpu. I like the price of the one listed above but the reviews dictate that it is an unstable mobo. Any others?

But what is a good 1600 4 gb ram that is not as expensive as the corsair things?

As far as I can see the reviews look just fine.
 
I have read that lower end motherboards can bottleneck the pc. I don't want this happening, so if you r sure the one for 90 is good, ill get it.

Does anyone have 4gb ram suggestions?

Is the gpu I have in the op any good?
 
Thanks, but does it have as good or better cooling? It seems to have less fans and fan mounts... Does anyone have anything to say about the ram and graphics card??!!
 
I hope to get 4gb because it is cheaper, but my question is can i overclock the one above?

ALSO: IS MY GPU in the OP suffiecient for Skyrim and other hi def games on High?
 
What gpu do u reccomend so I can play skyrim on high? My alienware m14x with a shit GeForce 555m can run skyrim on ultra sooooooo...... Yea... Shouldn't the desktop CPU be even better?
 
I was told that my PSU is wrong. How many watts should i get? I will be eventually upgrading to 2 GPUs and better ram, more fans, etc. Should i be getting 750q?
