I'm going to be giving my friend my rig as his exploded (I'm not even joking,i have no clue how he did it), but I want a new rig.


My budget at the moment is 1200.

What I do NOT need is:
RAM
a Hard drive (I do want an SSD just to boot Windows)
Monitors, Keyboard, or mice
a case


I am a Radeon fanboy. Nothing Nvidia for the gfx card. Don skimp out on me neither, I can always upgrade later so if that's where we are saving money I need something that is cheap yet powerful.

I have always hated intel, but if the i7 is the best I'm down. I want the best processor on the market possible at my budget.

I can always upgrade later on. 1200 is what I have now.

As for the MB, gigabyte or , MSI, or Asus preferably.
