"Low" power consumption general use and gaming build - $800
Last response: in Systems
I'm looking to build a general use computer (photo editing, surfing the web, and some gaming). My concerns are longevity of the system as well as overall power consumption. I'm also interested in gaming and would like to be able to play future games, at least at low setting. Here is more detail:
Approximate Purchase Date: this summer
Budget Range: 700 - 900
System Usage from Most to Least Important: photo editing, movies, gaming, web design, surfing the web
Parts Not Required: OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No Preference
Country: Canada
Parts Preferences: see list below, reliable manufacturers
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: No
Here is the wish list
http://secure.newegg.ca/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?...
CPU - i3450 ivy bridge 3.1 Ghz
MOBO - Biostar TZ77B
RAM - G-Skill Sniper low voltage 2x4gb
GPU - HD 7770
PSU - Rosewill Green Series 530w
SSD - OCX 60Gb SATA3
CASE - HAF 912
Again my concern are in power to performance ratio. I'm very new at this. Is there a better way to build this? Do I have any bottle necks? Could this system last me over 7 years with some upgrades? I have a few external HDD but will be adding a couple hard drives in raid 0 latter on.

Thats right I meant to write i5-3450.
Asrock gen 3 might be a good way to go. it is a bit cheaper too.
In terms of power consumption, does an micro ATX consume more power. Because as I said I want as little power consumption as possible. Are there other means to reduce power consumptions (eg passive heat sinks)
