- you will never need more than 2tb of storage, ever
- buy AMD's most expensive cpu and enjoy being the god of multi-tasking for less than $250
- buy as good of a GPU as you can get with the money left over

Let me refer you some shit.
RAM:
Motherboard:http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=76851&vpn=FM2-A75MA-E35&manufacture=MSI%2FMicroStar
CPU:http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=76269&vpn=AD580KWOHJBOX&manufacture=AMD&promoid=1366
RAM:http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=55544&vpn=996770&manufacture=Mushkin%20Enhanced&promoid=1360 - What I have.
GPU:http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=76838
HDD: Salvage.
Case: Salvage? If not then http://ncix.com/products/?sku=57910&vpn=Z9%20Plus&manufacture=ZALMAN%20TECH&promoid=1366
PSU:
---------------------------
Will update with moar later
Viole:
But gaming performance isn't as good as the average i5. :-[
8 GB of ram will be obsolete in the future
but... the space... for certain files... found in the dark net :-X
Deacon:
Standard ATX mobo
CPU, I suggest AMD for cost saving. (I've a Phenom x4 and never had problems)
Great budget GPU: Radeon HD 6770
8 GB RAM
7.1 Sound card
rounding to 100, 160, 100, 40, anywhere from 15-100 = ~450
salvage what you can from old PC: Case, HD (though a fresh OS install is recommended), Disk drives (bluray if enough $$)

intel only performs better than amd at gaming because game devs are fucking lazy and don't code for multi-threaded game engines
intel cpus have better single-threaded performance than amd which is useless for anything besides gaming at this point
as soon as devs pull their heads out of their asses and start coding multi-threaded engines intel will be in the shitter until they step it up
even then amd's best processor has never cost more than $250 as far as i know and intel is the king of overpricing

Ugh, AMD gave up on the desktop market a while ago after the failure of the Bulldozer, which is a real shame. Now all they sell is that A8 fusion crap that appeals to the laptop market, otherwise the CPU aspect of the APU preforms around the lines of an Athlon II or just barely scrapes ahead of the Phenoms.
Honestly, there is hardly a noticeable difference when it comes to an intel vs AMD in gaming. So might as well get an AMD.
