do you have a Microcenter near you? You should go and seriously look at their prices...they have ultra cheap motherboard and CPU combo's and fantastic deals on very large TB hard drives...picked up 2 - 3TB toshiba 7200 RPM (dead silent) drives for $189 about a month ago. Put those babies in raid.

I would go with Intel vs AMD for CPU.

If you are just going to game, go with Nvidia video cards. You get better performance for cheaper all around.

The ATI 270 card is crap. Do some google searches, that's seriously a low end card. If you want to game seriously at ATI cards..u have to get an R9 280X or higher...

The 760 is a good card, u should go with a 770 or 760 Ti whatever is cheaper if u go Nvidia.

Also you are seriously bottlenecking the entire system by not getting an SSD drive as your main OS drive. Comon this is the 21st century, very few computers run their OS on an old crusty 7200 RPM drive. It's just too slow.
