So guys, I'll build my first gaming pc at the end of the year, and (mostly because of the budget) I decided going with AM3+ platform (here components cost at least twice as much, damn!). Possible change to an i5-4670k (no better than that).
I want my rig to sit by the television (possible upgrade to 4K in a "few" years), with "just" HD gaming for now. Other than that, I'm into some heavy data management (huge list of anime and stuff) and I'd like a nice mobo with a fair amount of (e)SATA and USB 3 connectors, besides having a good audio and cooling. A least important point is that I "multitask" a lot (like, using powerpoint and word/pdf and music and torrent and chrome, skype, etc etc etc...)
I'm also interested in overclocking and crossfire, plus I'd like it to last quite a few years (with upgrades in mind).
Depending on the market, I may go intel, but it is a very unlikely scenario in Brazil, where AMD prices are much lower... (accordingly any internet combos and/or sales won't be really helpful =/ ). Nevertheless I was kinda considering a micro-ATX buid (A10-7850k or i5-4670k).
Last but not least, here is my build for now:
SABERTOOTH 990FX R2.0
FX-8350
Corsair H100i watercooler
Kingston HyperX RAM @1866MHz 8Gb(x2)
Corsair GS800 PSU (I currently have a real 500W PSU, can I use it at first in case I decide to buy the video card later?)
Sapphire R9 270x 4gb version (anything beyond R9 280 is really expensive, and I seek cost/benefit for now)
A wireless card (pci-e x1)
For storage, I'll go with a SSD (+Win8) and a few HDDs
And this case: http://www.kabum.com.br/produto/41780/gabinete-aerocool-vs-92-black-edition-s-fonte-4683-1 (use this site if you'd like to compare prices and stuff)
Now a few questions: would the 8350 withstand a future R9 270x Crossfire (or something like a single 780)? How about the i5-4670k? Do HDDs have a high wattage (like, 3 or 4 of them being problem for this 800W PSU)? Any good surround headsets for me to go with?
