GPU- not being a gamer I can't speak intelligently on the choice of video cards 2). CPU- if possible, I would WAIT a few months before buying. AMD will be putting out their Zen 2 CPU (based on the 7nm process) in a few months. This will result in a BIG DECREASE IN PRICE for previous AMD CPU's as well as current Intel CPU's (since Intel is running scared and does not want to give up market share). 3). Go with whatever Gigabyte or MSI motherboard that fits your needs. 4). From what use you have, you will only need a sub 500 watt Power Supply. I would suggest this one: [URL='https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151204']Seasonic FOCUS series SSR-450FM 450W 80 + Gold Power Supply, Semi-Modular, ATX12V/EPS12V, Compact 140 mm Size, 7 yr warranty - Newegg.com[/URL] It is cheap, efficient, and quiet.
