Hey guys!

I'll be getting a new PC soon and here are the specs in my mind,

CPU: FX8320 or i5 4440
GPU: Asus GTX760
RAM: 4GB for now (I'll get another 4GB stick in December)
MoBo: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0(FX8320) or Asus B85M-G(i5 4440)
CPU Cooler: CM Hyper TX3
PSU: Seasonic ECO 600w

Main use of this PC would be for gaming, a bit of video editing and stuff.
I wouldn't be doing any overclocking now(If I go with FX8320), maybe after 2-3 years. I really need the CPU which will live longer.
I'll be keeping Turbo Boost on most of the time.

Thanks! :)
 
Can you spend a little more and get the i5 4670K with a Z97 board?

Otherwise, I recommend the 8320 since you can overclock it , better for future games that use more cores, will be better for video editing and is slightly cheaper. Also, I wouldn't recommend the LE version of that board. At Least get the M5a97 R2.0,if not the EVO version.

Nope, but it's from there where I built the specs(in Whishlist). The PC costs Rs.48k in Flipkart. I'll be getting this PC from a local shop.

Um, I'd be using Vegas more, you know for editing videos to upload in YouTube.
