Ok mateys,

I am looking to upgrade a few parts in my computer in about January sometime and I am wanting a few opinions on parts to get.

Spending Limit: $800 - $900
Parts I Want To Upgrade: CPU, Motherboard, Memory, and possibly a CPU cooler.

I already have a few parts in mind but for the CPU I am wanting to go Intel and try to stay away from Gigabyte motherboards. I don't really want to go AMD as I have been told they are bad but I do not know so if anyone wants to tell me otherwise please let me know.

Any suggestions is welcome.

Not stalking at all, just trying to help you.

Stop overusing words, you're destroying everything.

PCCaseGear

or do a

ASUS P8P67 series
i5 2500k
G.Skill Ripjaws X (2x4GB)
Noctua NH-D14

2500k will do just as fine as the i7 2600k in gaming assuming thats what this is mainly for.
