New build.. its been a while

[magisterco]

its been a LONG time since ive built a pc.

What i am mainly looking for is to see if everything is going to work together, such as i have a very limited understanding of the MHZ i need to run my Ram, CPU, and graphics for the system to function well.

If anything needs or should be changed in comparison of price vs how much power let me know THANKS! =D

ARES comes with a free Asus motherboard, why not just use that? You'd have to go with an Intel system, which would be fine; just get an i7

yea i thought about going that route, i might end up selling the mobo to a friend or something (more than likely it will just sit around for lol)

i really want to go with an AMD. you see anything else?

as far as the mhz on the ram/gpu and cpu that would need to be changed?

thanks
