I'm looking to buy a nzxt razer h440 case and my budget is around $700 to $1300 to buy the parts to make it a desktop so what would you guys recommend for me to get like the motherboard, video card, and etc..
 
firstly you really need to know what you want your machine for..eg gaming.. or auto cad design or every day browsing etc.. ...amd builds are generally cheaper and not to bad bang for buck..but with intell you have a much larger choice of cpu`s and mobos..
 
well then you would be better with intell soz i cannot really tell you which cpu to go for in that respect but at least a 4 core minimum and a beefy video card ..nvida vs ati/radeon...its a matter of $$ there as well the mad gamers use nvidia as there been around for a long time and suit intell better in my op..but as you have set your goal to 1500$$ max ..in what dollars ?? aud American i dont know that either ...if you want to over clock get an asus mobo..rog series"republic of gamers"..i think that speaks for it`s self ..if you intend on using 2 video cards at some point get a 1000 watt gold series power supply to start off with.corsair,,or similar . then your prolly going to be set no mater what you put in your case ..as for cases i have an antec "df-85" an excellent choice for a gamer..its around 150 aud..but you will be glad that you got one...i hope this has been of some help to you.. .
