Change of plans :D
I will try finding a number of different parts that I want, and hunting for sales on said items. So I am planning to find 3-5 Motherboards, CPUs, GPUs, and so on. Then I'll be on the lookout for good sales for them, as black friday isnt guaranteed to make things go on sale. If the item is good, and not 5 years old, it is less likely to go on sale on black friday, since its being bought at a good rate anyways.

Who here can run the game at good to excellent quality? I was wondering if you have benchmarks for your rig, so I know what to aim for when finding parts that fit?

I'm not sure if it's the most up to date, but it should be a good place to start when looking for AC benchmarks.

Also, pcpartpicker lets you set up parametric filters, so it will only show the cheapest of however many mobos, and make sure it's compatible with everything else in your build.

Board's Still Usable, Not user if its AM3 or AM3+... If its an AM3+ just go get an FX CPU.

That Board is still pretty Decent vs AMD's 990 Chipsets since it has a 5200m/T Hypertransport Bus

Concerned about response Time and loading speed? Get 2 SSD's (400 or higher Read/ Write Speed) and put them on Raid 0. you wont be dissapointed.

GL, I hope its an AM3+, If not, Get an AM3+ !! lol

That's pretty nice build, R9 390 is a great card, and an i5-6600k will last you a long time and with that CPU cooler you'll be able to OC it later on. The PSU is a bit excessive but at least you'll know it won't explode.

That looks like a pretty good build, I'm not an Intel fan but, that's me.

On another note, whatever you do, DO NOT BUY OPEN BOX PARTS!!!!!!
I am having an issue with my MB, I keep getting voltage drops, the BIOS keeps crashing, USB ports keep disappearing, and the entire system will lock up for no reason. So, I need to find another MB, quick, before my CPU or memory melts. right now, it's an Asus M5A99X Pro R2.0. I am hoping to find an AMD 990FX chipset, either MSI or another Asus.

Yeh. Never know why something was returned. Looking for some more feedback if possible, but overall I'm glad to see people think I made good choices.
