i recently purchase a NZXT Gamma Series Case and an OCZ 700W power supply.
im looking on suggestions on what CPU, motherboard and RAM to get. My budget for CPU and motherboard would hopefully be around 250 if possible, but i understand if its not possible. I'm going to be using this computer for everyday stuff as well as gaming. Games i play would be SC2 and CS:S right now.
 
Ill give you AMD and INTEL...
AMD:

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103727
MoBo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130309

INTEL:

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115074
MoBo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128482

But since Intel is more xpensive, you get less for your money...This intel mobo is cheap...only 2x DIMM slots...as close to your price as I could get with INTEL...

In this case, the AMD MoBo is better, because it supports more RAM...The intel only has 2x slots, and the H67 chipset does not allow overclocking like the P67 does...but you may not even need that...still the Intel MoBo is not the best...lol
