Re: Building Computer-A nerds rise to greatness
You'll definitely need the GPU for FFXIV but you don't need much CPU for Microsoft Office. In any event, buy quality if you're going to spend those kinds of bucks. I'm sure you'd like your rig to be up and running 3 years from now.

Re: Building Computer-A nerds rise to greatness
Just checked i do get a discount on GPUs the 590 would run me about 290$(thank you Job Corps). I just need to save a little longer for it.

Re: Building Computer-A nerds rise to greatness
If you are getting it for $135, then go for it because that's a great deal. The retail price for the 3820 is roughly in the $320-350 range which is completely unneeded; my suggestions for GPU typically lies in the 6950/6970/560ti/570 range if you looking for that 'over average' performance and if you can afford it, go for it the 580/7950/7970--I have some reservations about the 590, I'm not saying it's a bad card...but at its price range I see the 7970 as a better buy unless you are specifically an NVidia fan. That being said, the Kepler series is "supposed" to launch within the next 2-3 months so I'm betting on a new NVidia card that's going to surpass both the 590 and 7970 there.
You didn't specify a case...so I'm going to recommend the CoolerMaster HAF 912 or 922 for your price range; it's a great case that gives a good amount of airflow and I was certainly happy to replace my Thermaltake with it a while back.

Re: Building Computer-A nerds rise to greatness
I know that it is stupidly over powered but I have a teacher who can get me the I7 Core for 135$ because I am a student with job corps I just do not know if it worth it or not because that processor is highly recommended for that motherboard. I will look into upgrading the GPU but I do not know it I can get a discount on GPUs.

Re: Building Computer-A nerds rise to greatness
I'd go with Hayde's advice because he's right, the CPU you listed is stupidly overpowered for everything short of processing high end applications (i.e., if you are a graphics artist/3D developer, programmer) or odd-ball number crunching applications related to the defense industry or scientific/laboratory work (i.e., high end particle physics)
A 2500K is more than enough for everyone, maybe even 99% of the population, considering most gamers don't even do anything with their expensive rig that amounts to more than just playing Angry Birds on FB and trying to cyber with trannies online.
(yes, that was a cheap shot, but I don't care)
Anyway, go with a good GPU and make sure you have a quality power supply. Spend money wisely, don't spend it on things that have fancy bells and whistles and you end up not even using it more than once or twice in a year, if at that.

TP-LINK TL-WN951N 300Mbps Wireless N PCI Adapter $30
I don't know...I feel like your 3820 is a bit overkill; if I could go back...I probably would have dropped my 2600k (which, I also think is overpowered) and gotten a second SSD or a better gaming case.
