I thinking about build my first PC. I am wondering if this is good to build around. I'm looking to keep the total around $500 (just the tower). Any suggestions and coments are welcomed.

Why are you going AMD? You can get a nice Intel mobo much cheaper.

for that kind of money you could easily grab an EVGA 780i
