Hello i'm new here...i,m buiding a system and i need some opionions...
Rig is...
Intel Core i3-3220T
Noctua NH-L9i
Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe Mini ITX
Mushkin Blackline 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600
Samsung 840 Series 120GB
Sapphire Radeon HD 7790 1GB Video Card
Silverstone SST-SG05BB-450
Dell S2440L 60Hz 24.0
Harman Kardon SoundSticks III

I,m thinking that if i replace the i3 with an amd a10 apu it could be stronger dont you think?but apu is more hungry for watts...

Meaning, unless you plan on using CS6 or hardcore rendering, you wont utilize 16 gigs of ram. Even modern games wont utilize 8 gigs. That being said, 8 gigs is the current "standard" for a gaming machine

Just hold off on buying a system for a short while as the new Haswell intel processors is rumoured to be announced soon and they will have better power saving technology
