Hi guys,

Looking to spend around £515 on a new system. Currently, this is what I have in mind:

Motherboard
Asus M5A97 R2.0 Motherboard (AMD 970/SB950, 4x DDR3, S-ATA 600, ATX, PCI-Express 2.0, USB 3.0, USB BIOS Flashback, Windows 8 Ready, Socket AM3+) - Asus

Case
Zalman Z11 Plus Midi Tower Case (ATX, M-ATX, Supports Bottom PSU Installation and Aperture for Cable Management, Anti-Vibration Rubber Stand) - Zalman

OS
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 x64 English 1 Pack DSP OEI DVD LCP (PC)

Power supply
Corsair Builder Series CXM 600W Modular 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX/EPS PSU - Corsair

Hard drive
Seagate ST1000DX001 3.5 inch 1TB Hybrid Internal Solid State Drive

RAM
Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 Mhz CL9 XMP Performance Desktop Memory Kit Black - Corsair

Processor
And either an Intel 4570k or AMD FX8320 Black Edition 8 Core (3.5/4.0GHz, 8MB Level 3 Cache, 8MB Level 2 Cache, Socket AM3+, 125W, Retail Boxed) - AMD

If anyone can thing of a different component, please notify me! Also, if people can tell me what kind of performance I'd be getting, I'd really appreciate it. I'd also like to find out what kind of performance i could expect?

And lastly, I know you can get WIndows 8 installed from a USB drive, if somebody could link me one of those products id appreciate it.

Kind regards,

Connor

If you decide to do the Intel processor, you will need to pick another motherboard. The two brands do not use the same sockets etc. Both processors are very good.
