System builder for all you lazy bums.

I got bored and decided to write this post. These are just a general suggestion about what parts you should get if you are looking to build a computer. These are only suggestions and will change as the prices drop and/or new parts come out. Also, case selections, there are almost unlimited options. So choose what you like.

Pricing is in USD and may be higher in your country.

That $500 build. I only have 2 questions.
1. With the amd motherboard are you able to add a quad core to it?
2. Would that be able to play WoW with a good amount of fps? Like Over 30

1. Yes. That AM3 board is able to take any AM3 CPU.
2. Depends on the resolution you are planning on playing at. Most likely it will be able to just fine.

I'm playing at good. And i have like 15-18 fps. And I'm on window mode. The next settings are high and ultra. I'd love to play on high. Ok just switched it to high. I'm getting 8-15 fps. This is the comp I have atm.

I'm getting the slightest feeling of deja vu here. Feels like the person who always asks for help but does nothing with the advice they're given.

Don't worry I am going to use everyone's advice I've been given. Wanted to know ahead of time so I can start saving some money. Got about $100 in savings right now. I had the previous thread I made bookmarked but since with the corrupt post everything that was on that thread is gone. But now that I've been given this info I shall make sure that I make use of it. I may ask a question again like where to put those tiny wires that hook onto the motherboard since that's the only part that confuses me and fans. I'm sorry if it seems like I'm just asking questions for the hell of it and I'll try working on making my post not seem that way.

I've been saving up until now, and I think now's the time to upgrade my PC.
So, can you please give me the list of best part available?
My budget is about $5000, btw, so please make it between that.
Thanks before :D

Yes, but if I just randomly select parts from that chart would it be compatible with each other?
Moreover I need to know what kind of motherboard that can support such high-end machines
I've spent 4 years saving my money so I have to be really careful in picking up the parts.
Oh, tips on building it would be greatly apreciated :)

Everything on the same row is compatible with everything else on that row. The chart has motherboards.

Great!
That means I could still save more than 3000 bucks!
Thanks a lot, Tegumi-san!
EDIT: Um, sorry for asking again, can you recommend me the monitor as well? And what kind of power supply I should choose? Cause my bro said that this build would consume a lot of power and I should choose my power supply carefully.
