Hey guys, I am having trouble making my own gaming rig. I can't decide between the AMD FX-8350 or the i5 3570k. I plan on overclocking it. I would use the computer for web surfing, gaming. I would like memory stick modules of 4gb each at around 1866mhz and a descent motherboard. Any suggestions would be great (cpu,motherboard,ram, etc (with price please)

Any help would be appreciated. ( I have also made other threads similar, but each identifying a different question, the questions wer answered but i want to know more :) )

Thanks alot :D . I'm more leaning towards an i5 3570k cpu. but i did like the gpu and the ssd :)
 


a 64gb ssd is worthless, will fill up with windows, updates, and a couple games. thermaltake tr2 psu's are sh!t, get something from Antec, Corsair, XFX or Seasonic. I would trade the cost/uselessness of the 64gb SSD for a 3570k/4670k any day.

64 Gb SSds are good enough as a boot drive.....Why would you ever want to store games in a SSD. When you have a 1 TB HDD sitting next to it....
