First Build

[SirDoctorOfTardis]

First off, this is mostly hypothetical as money is a rather limited resource in my house. As such I have decided on a limit of $1000. As this is my first build, I have very little experience on what is good.

For my plans for my computer usage, I will be modeling in Blender alongside playing Modded Minecraft.

You're probably better off doing an intel build with this cpu: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00KPRWAZQ/?tag=pcgedit-20&ascsubtag=bestcpu

I have the compatibility filter enabled. Not sure how reliable it is but no Intel CPU is showing up.

You need a different motherboard.

You need a different motherboard.

You sure? I tried several different motherboards and all that came up is AMD.

Deselect a motherboard. Make sure there isn't a filter set.

What motherboard do you recommend?

I haven't built a PC build for that CPU, so I don't have a recommendation

That seems like a bit cheap cpu/gpu for 3d modeling, as well as only 8gigs of Sheep

I really suggest submitting a build request at http://reddit.com/r/buildapcforme if you're not sure about something. People there are usually quite good at this kinda stuff
