AMD phenom is not competitive with the Intel i5 . Phenom is an older design

If you do want to build with AMD then the FX 8150 is a very good processor for people doing editing and encoding work .
You use an AM3+ motherboard , probably with the 990 FX chip set . Asus make several models
It wont game quite as well as the intel , but the difference will not be noticeable with a graphics card like the 7950
It does use more power than the intel , but it also overclocks better .

The FX is about to be upgraded by AMD . They are probably selling down current stocks before they release the new models of "piledriver" cores . If you want AMD then I suggest you wait for that , or build the comp with a relatively cheap fx 4100 and then upgrade when Piledriver is available

Not set on amd just showing people something I had together so they can a basis of what I like.
Also the intel is looking a lot better than the amd so I think I will go with intel. Since I don't really care for the bulldozers. How well does the I7 overclock?

And so people know my background I build and sell custom computers just haven't been able to afford my own so I want mine to be perfect and since I usallly work with low budget people I use mostly AMD so I am trying to learn more about the Intel processors.

It OCs to 4.2 GHz without voltage increases.

thanks so 4.5ghz is a realistic goal with a cooler master tpc-812 in the haf xm case

Yep.

How does this look

You should really up your video card 7850 minimal I would suggest a 7970 if your set on amd it would help alot

I don't really game much maybe once a month and it usually old games. The only new games I play are Fallout 3, New Vegas, and Skyrim but not very often. Also I'm not going with AMD any more I am going to use the 3770k.
