Thanks to you guys I finally managed to decide on the parts.
If it wasn't for you I would have probably ended up with something I would probably regret quite soon.

In the beginning I wanted an AMD system for the lower price and the fact that I was more used to it, in the end though after going through the forums I gathered my self and decided to go with Intel instead.


Take in mind that my budget was limited and the use will probably consist of a small bit of gaming, video encoding and rendering and the normal everyday use most of us do.


So read through and drop some feedback :)

I'll go with the flow here, I don't know that brand of PSU. I personally stick with know brand. PSU is an area where you don't want to cut corner. I went for the Corsair 620 and I am totally satisfied.

Well it was more budget like, in the beginning, but then I thought what the h*ll so I spent a few bucks more here and there.

They wont be able to deliver till the 12th anyway which means I can ask them to change something if needed.
The next alternative PSU I found is the one you have as well.

Thanks for the feedback people :)
