I suggest you go with AMD parts, is this a problem?

 

If not, i will go on to build you a rig.

Here is my AMD build based on price/ performance, and also remembering what tasks you have in mind..

You could go cheaper with the GPU, remember you have a $20 off rebate with the one i chose you, and you also get 2 free games, which all AMD GPu's should come with..

Yes, i suggest you get these fans, if you want best air pressure:

Not cheap but are well worth it if you can push your budget a little more, if not, these will do well too:
