Hi, this is my first time building a computer so I'd really appreciate any help you can offer on compatibility, gear selection, etc. My goal is to stay around $700-800 all-in (not including monitor/windows). This would be for gaming (SWTOR) as well as some music production.
Please note that several of the pieces are part of a bundled deal on NewEgg, which with my limited knowledge seems like a good deal for the quality of gear it includes:
AMD FX-6100 Zambezi 3.3GHz Socket AM3+ 95W Six-Core Desktop Processor FD6100WMGUSBX
