One of my friends was helping make this rig. If you want to do gaming, don't get an APU. Read reviews and benchmarks on hardware you aren't too sure about. If you are building an AMD rig, get this: Newegg.com - AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core Desktop Processor FD8150FRGUBOX Link to comment

I'm try to keep the price below 800. Instead of changing the mother board I'll change the cpu then.
