Bryce your finally building it. Remember the first time you asked me? We were still playing Mulitplayer skyblock on the Meep server. The days...
Hmm, AMD graphics are pretty good too, and unlike with their CPUs you actually get more bang for the buck compared to nVidia. I just stay with nVidia because their Linux drivers are better. Corsair is a great brand in general, I could buy everything from them. Cases, PSUs, RAM, even keyboards and mice. All great quality products. Oh yeah Brodolon, since you said you're building the PC yourself, here's a pro tip: Don't cheap out on the power supply unit. You should get one that has at least a Silver rating, better if it's Gold. And make sure that it can supply more power than your system will actually use, so you still have room for upgrades. If your PC is going to use about 400W then get a PSU that can do 600W. Maybe you'll get a new graphics card that needs more power in a year or so.
Does the Motherboard matter to much? besides the Memory slots and the right socket are there any other things to take into account? btw This is what I've chosen:link please any advice because im a huge noob at this Thanks
Not really no, unless you need an abnormal amount of harddrives, want multiple gpus or want to overclock. Other than those 3 simple factors not really no.
Ok c'mon now...you've "cheaped" out on your GPU just so you can have a dedicated SSD and hybrid SSD...o pls. This graphics processor seemingly performs worse than my Mac Pro mid 2010 GPU, so here's a helpful comparison on why you should simply drop the SSD and get a better GPU.
IMO the whole build is totally unbalanced and also you have selected the wrong Xeon. When I am home I will rebuild one for you.
If you want, I might consider holding off a few months on Windows, just running Linux, until Windows 9 come out. EDIT: 2 more things: It might be cheaper to get 2 sticks of 4 gigs of ram, instead of 1 stick of 8, might save you 10 bucks or so. I would really, really strongly urge you to get a better power supply. I'd say at least 500W, since it gives you some space, and makes your buildd generally more resilient. A CX500 is only about 50 bucks, and the CX500M is (bizarrely) only $35. Just something to think about.
I was thinking along the same lines with the sticks of ram, but of course you can always add another 3 sticks of 8GBs each later on without worrying about wasted money on 4GB ram sticks that you don't have slots for. Essentially meaning, just get the 8GB sticks for now and those will permit you to expand later on without the need to worry about extra/unused ram sticks, although 32GB in total of ram may be a bit much for that computer... TL;DR (Too long; didn't read) - Well scrap all of what I just said and get 2 sticks of 4GBs.
You can pretty much run a 780 and a 4770 from 430w... but if the price difference is very little its probably not a bad idea to get the 500
