Debating over AMD vs Intel. I heard AMD was realising Steamroller in 2013 (supposedly solving all Bulldozer/Piledriver issues)
I wont build it right now, probably till early/mid 2013, so if there is anything good coming up i can also wait a bit.

Should i waste/save more money in certain areas?

Take a look please and help me through the missing components, compatibility issues and general opinion about this rig.
