ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Mainly, let tell something about myself, I am a blogger. I will be using my system for atleast half a day and need a peaceful quiet processor but also powerful- performance wise because I will be using FireFox with nearly 15-20 tabs open, Office2010, some softwares like winRAR or winZIP, Vuze, BitTorrent, screen shot software in the background along with some 10 windows open. Suggest a good PSU. I do blogging and writing work most of the times, But when I am done, Want to play some games rather than sulk around.


I am open to both amd/intel rigs. Need good GPU also.
Hope you gimme good suggestions.
