Budget: 800$
Starcraft 2, Streaming myself playing.
Main question is: where to find all of these parts? Newegg for everything?

So far with the research I've done it looks to me like I should get 8 GB of DDR3, an i5-3570K, and a GTX 650 1 GB, are these 3 equal in quality or will there be any sort of bottleneck?

I don't know much about these:
Motherboards
Power supplies
Coolings systems
Sound card (I want to be able to use headphones or a headset)
Wireless Internet Adaptor (would rather use this than ethernet)
CD Drive

There is probably parts I am missing... I am a pretty big noob when it comes to this.

Will donate a couple of my fgs to someone who holds my hand and spoon feeds me lol.

Fill the rest of this out:

Budget: $800
More specific use (what games, what programs): sc2/streaming
Planned time until purchase:
Do you need an Operating System?:
Do you have any specific preferred components?:
Do you need a sound or wireless card?:
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?:
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?:
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs):

Budget: $800
More specific use (what games, what programs): sc2/streaming
Planned time until purchase: Late this month (between the 15th and the 29th)
Do you need an Operating System?: Yeah I need everything..
Do you have any specific preferred components?: I want to buy: 8 GB of DDR3, an i5-3570K, and a GTX 650 1 GB, but I also need to know if these are equal (mostly the video card and processor i'm not sure about)
Do you need a sound or wireless card?: I would imagine so.. To use headset/earbuds?
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?: I would rather stick to stock if I can do it without overclocking.
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?: Yeah I will eventually buy one of each of these however I can handle this by myself I don't see why I need help getting basic things like this.
Zip code/location? 14760

Would be nice if you could "find" the operating system elsewhere, then you could have a 660ti :o

The only thing i see that could be an issue is your purchase date.
Prices change daily, so its better off posting a few days before buying.

I second that build.

The 8350 absolutely kills the 3570k when it comes to streaming.

There's actually two changes you can make.

Faster RAM, same size hard drive. People will tell you that the WD is better than the Seagate, but from personal experience, neither of these brands have let me down.

EDIT: And thank you for the donation. :)
