HELP! Building my first Desktop

[BulletReign]

Ok so this summer I have decided to build my very own desktop computer. I have been doing some research and have parts picked out. I will be using this computer for gaming and work so it needs to be decently powerful but not so much so that I end up spending a gazillion dollars. I need to know if these parts will all work together correctly and if they are worth the cost. Also suggestions on other parts to use instead would be greatly appreciated.


Case: Cooler Master NV-334-KWN1-GP Elite 334 nVidia Case - ATX, mATX

Motherboard: ASUS Rampage II Extreme LGA1366 Intel X58 DDR3-1600 ATX $355

Which is why I posted my CyberPower link.

I'd go for the best AMD processor because it's very cheap.

It doesn't last as long, though.

I was gonna buy AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition.

AMD's don't last as long as Intel's, not by a long shot.

I went ahead and bought Intel i7 2600k though.

Those are good enough

i7s suck, though.
They're really glitchy.
