I have an old pre-built system right now. I put together this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2csW7 .The board is suspiciously cheap but it supports crossfire/SLI and is good at overclocking according to a couple of reviews on newegg. I'm not really interested in spreading my budget on an ssd, I u sally put my PC in sleep mode anyway. I want the PC to be as quiet as can be as I hope to take it to college next year I was thinking about an Matx build but there just aren't any great motherboards with Am3+. I figure if they recommend bringing a mini-fridge a desktop is alright?
TBH I'm a little nervous about building a pc. I appreciate you input.
