First off i want to give a huge thanks to everyone who reccomended I build my own pc. I got somthing alot better in quality for the same price. I looked up and watched alot of building videos on youtube, will be reading through the mother boards manual to understand it better. Any suggestions how to reduce static shock? I also noticed that my power supply is 50 watts short of the GPU's requirments so i will need to return and upgrade it would hate to damage the gpu.

If I get stuck or have questions I will post them here.

the rig is..

amd fx-6300 cpu
8 gig ddr3
Radeon 7850 HD 2gig ddr5
78lmt-usb3 motherboard
450 watt antec powersupply
300 mbps wi fi
1 terabite of hard drive.
A standard case

for $650

Looking good buddy, I would just recommend at least a 650w PSU, so that you can overclock your cpu, gpu and also won't have to worry about upgrading to a more power hungry gpu in the future as well. Have you got a anti static wrist band? they go for like £5 on amazon. Have you decided on which brand 7850 you'll be getting?  I personally recommend MSI, but sapphire, xfx etc are pretty good as well. Don't go for stock cooler design though otherwise it'll be noisy and hot. 

Let us know how it goes :)

I got the gigabyte radeon 7850. The reviews were decent. Pretty happy with this build, i am so glad! i didnt buy a desktop pre built off the shelf. I was originally going to pay about 799 for somthing half as good but got my ideal pc for 650.. feels good. Build a pc was defintly the way to go. Just have to exchange my powsersupply for a higher watt one, a 650.
