Thanks for the build, i was just wondering what CPU and GPU to go with, (Intel or AMD) I am going to be doing a lot of gaming, video editing, photoshop, cinema 4d work and stuff like that what would you recommend for my budget?

what about putting a bit more into the build and getting an AMD AM3+ x8 FX-8320 3.5Ghz/8Core or AMD AM3+ x8 FX-8350 4.0Ghz/8Core/16M/125W ?? Would that effect the performance enough to make a noticeable difference?

Do you think the system will be able to tun modern games such as battlefield 4 on high-ultra settings on 1080p?

Would overclocking the CPU and GPU make much of a difference in running high end games?
