600 bucks is a ton of money for a build if you already have an OS, monitor, and keyboard/mouse. Why is it only limited to AMD though?

sorry, OS needs to be in the build, the rest of it is good.. although I get the OS for $83 unless someone knows of it cheaper... and it does not have to be AMD, I was thinking I might get more bang with AMD.. so that's the only reason

What monitor will you be using with this build and what is the max resolution?
