Great Gpu
i would personally go with the fx 8350 instead of the i5 because it has 8 cores vs the 4 on the i5. It is also faster in general

Cores mean absolutely nothing. The 3570k is vastly superior in everything except heavily threaded apps. Have a look at this: http://techreport.com/review/23750/amd-fx-8350-processor-reviewed 3570k is the way to go.

Not a fan of OCZ SSDs. I would have recommended a Samsung 830 or 840

Nice build. The only thing I'd have changed is the SSD. I'd have gone with a bit larger Crucial or Samsung.

 

[redh4t]

But at that price range Crucial is slower. For example Crucial M4 128GB and OCZ Agility 3 or 4 (same price) 120GB. Am i wrong?

This guy. Please link me to what website it says that the 8350 is better then the 3570k. Please.

I suggest a intel 330 120GB for $100 on newegg

 

[redh4t]

What about Corsair Force GT?

 

[camohanna]

Intel/samsung/cruicial for ssd.

 

[redh4t]

Why is that? They are better build quality? Faster?

Intel/samsung/cruicial for ssd.

+1 for this.

More reliable, perform better etc. Just like you go for seasonic or corsair for your power supply not some random one. Hope that clears it up for you

 

[redh4t]

Should i look at the specifications? Like OCZ Agility 3 have 510/555Mbps IOPS: 85K and Crucial M4 have 415/175Mbps. Doesn't it mean OCZ is faster?

 

[camohanna]

But are they the same price and size?

 

[redh4t]

Well OCZ Agility 3 is cheaper, same size.
