[build help] First time building a pc. Advice?
###Build Help: Looking to build my first pc. I use PS4 mainly for gaming, but I have played Eve Online for a couple of years and would like to be able to again. I don't do a lot of PC gaming but wouldn't mind getting into it. My budget is about maxed out as is. Originally was going to go with the Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor but thought the AMD was faster at about the same price point. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
