I'm looking for a new build right now, planning to use it mainly for gaming and photo/video editing.

things to consider are:

- Budget: up to 800€

- Should I get 2x4 or 1x8 Ram? Planning to expand it later

- I want to do SLI/Crossfire in the future, but at the moment I only will use 1 graphic card

- Should i get a SSD? i've already got an external 1Tb HHD, or should i wait 1 or 2 years so they will be more commonand cheaper?

- I preffer to use Wifi, difficult Cable connectio due to the distance.

- I want to oveclock

- I will need a card reader and CD/DvD reader

- My monitor is an Acer V246HLbmd

Thank you in advance ^^

Is it possible to low to price a bit? in graphic card for example, because the final build is bit to high for my possible budget, The processor was just the one i have been seeing for a while, and I know it has great options, and the motherboard looks great! I assume i wont need no extra fans, right? and do i need a wifi card? o should i get som peripherical for that purpose?

I have to add the cost of building the pc, because i don't have the knoweldga to do it by myself :S
 
the motherboard comes with a built in wi fi so no need for a wi fi card.....if you think that the built is expensive and u need to cut down the budget then i will say skip the ssd for now and stick to the r9 280 no need to downgrade your gpu because that's the main equipment for gaming...and the case itself comes with 3 fans and a fan controller and 8 fan options so u can add more fans if u want...

Oh, i dind't notice the built in Wi fi, that's great, and another question. I want to get to 16gb Ram later, is it better to have 4x4 or 2x8? i've read that the performance is not really noticable ro have 4x4....
