I will not be overclocking nor do I have a current desire to use multiple screens. System will be used for equal amounts of gaming, business applications and video editing though only modest amounts of each. Cosmetics do not matter to me - just looking for great, solid build that will last me for several years and could be upgradable. I have pretty much fixed on the Intel i5 4670 as my processor - all other components fairly flexible on. My MAIN questions are: Mobo (perhaps other quality options for price considerations) - RAM (or stick of 8 or 2 sticks on 4), PSU (reviews say great mid range brands are Corsair, Seasonic and Antec) & GPU
Finally, since I have no urgent time table to build this, would it be better to buy parts as they go on sale or just jump in?
