    SevSaint your are coming from all direction with all kinds of parts.

    You need to slow down. Read through the thread again and make notes. Google your own question in your notes and learn.

    Make a basic list of parts needed.

    1. Motherboard
    2. CPU
    3. Video card
    4. Case
    5. Power supply
    6. ECT.
    7. Keep notes on each one and 2 or 3 your thinking on.
    Motherboard A or B or C. Do the same on the hardware you are interested in.

    Their has to be some sort of organization to your searching.

    It takes very little work to build a computer but it does take a lot of homework to choose the right parts.

    We can guide you through the build and guide you through the homework but we can't do either for you.

    Now I would suggest starting with the motherboard and matching cpu.
    Do your research and homework and post 2 or 3 combination so we can give proper guidance.

    Lets get that settled first and then go to the next step.

    Okay.
    I am taking the GPU and PSU from my current rig and fitting it into the new rig/build. My concerns are the case and it working with the MOBO, as well as the CPU, MEM, and HDD, Burner.
    The case has several fans and i checked pins on the MOBO to make sure i had extra places to connect fans. Hopefully that is all lined up.
    I am trying to go with a blue color scheme since it works well with everything else. But i have a question. What is the best customer support for purchasing parts. If i run into an issue who is the best at resolving said issue. Do i need to purchase the warranty or whatever, for each part? BTW getting a combo on the MOBO, CPU, and MEM.

    As for the SS drive. I plan on purchasing one later on and reformating. My current budget is at 700 dollars.

    Your existing RAM may or may not be usable. I guess you’ve never identified your existing RAM with the tool mentioned in post 44.

    If you are getting a K processor, I assume you have over-clocking intentions. If so, you won’t go far with the stock cooler and would need to buy a replacement. But that's OK. You probably shouldn't fiddle with over-clocking to begin with. Maybe think about over-clocking in 6 months or whenever you buy the SSD.

    Newegg and Amazon generally are good for customer support. You need to read the RMA/warranty restrictions for each part. For Amazon, I'd probably try to buy from Amazon directly, rather than from some other dealer who is selling through Amazon. I think Tiger Direct is pretty good too.

    Each part will have its own warranty. After 30 days, you typically have to contact the manufacturer, not the dealer. I wouldn't buy extended warranties.

    Try to buy it all at once, rather than piece by piece. If you buy a faulty part tomorrow, but don't start to build for 5 weeks, you'd never know that part was faulty until then, and by that time you could not return it to the dealer.

    Plan on purchasing this week, so it will all be bought.

    Also keeping the ram with this current rig since it will still be used for other things.

    I would suggest getting a modular power supply. It makes things much neater.

    SevSaint that is a very nice case for the money.

    I agree with bigmck. A modular power supply is the only way to go.

    You can also consider semi modular PSU's they offer the same clean wiring at less cost.
