Advice needed on buying/building a PC
#7
EDIT: Nevermind, I give up trying to write a guide. SP keeps logging me out while I'm trying to type things, then my reply gets lost when I try to post. I tried copy+pasting to get around that, but then somehow my last copy didn't get everything. Too frustrated to try again.

EDIT2:
+1 for pcpartpicker
Also try /r/buildapc and /r/buildapcforme and /r/buildapcsales
Microcenter has GREAT bundles for CPU+MoBo - better than any other deal you'll get, if you live near one
Newegg Black Friday bundles aren't always good deals. The ones you posted are mediocre imo.

P.S. If there are specific questions / parts you wanna ask about, then I can answer those one at a time rather than trying to post everything. (Or if there's a better way to write a long reply without SP forgetting that I'm typing...)

The gist of it is:

Order of picking usually: Case > CPU + MoBo > GPU > HDD/SSD, RAM, Other parts (e.g. optical drive) > Power Supply
Order of importance (you don't want to skimp on the important ones): CPU = GPU = Power Supply > MoBo >> HDD/SSD > RAM > Case
