Need desktop build help

[gabe0155]

Hey I convinced my mom to give me the money to build a desktop. Now I need help. Can any of you help me with a build. I have 550$ to spend and I want my operation system to be windows 8. Thanks in advance. I also plan to use my current monitor,mouse,and keyboard.

I plane to buy a touch screen one later in the year so I can get the full windows 8 experience.

their is one 40mins away from me but knowing my mother she probably wouldn't want to drive that far but its really up to her so i can cast.

so would everything from newegg.com be OK?
or perhaps newegg and amazon?

[gabe0155]

ya thats fine.

[skidawgz]

what do you use when doing work for school?

I'll post prbly two builds for you a little later. I kind of want to double check a few things in the AMD world.
I already know an i3 will work pretty well.

Desktop doesnt really matter since I usually only need it to write papers and what not. I plan on having my desktop as gaming and then later on in the year buy a laptop for school stuff.

NEWEGG:
I forgot the OS, womp womp. Your gfx would have to take the hit for that. Unless you can get a student discount on Win 8.
So thats why an AMD build will be worth looking over when I wake up.

I will make a decision once I look at the other build. I also assume it would run around medium settings on gw2. I will go over for windows my mother will allow me to go over to buy the operating system.

When I get windows8 for the build to I need to get a certain one or do I just buy windows 8 pro for 69$
