The real real build log will be out soon. I just need to get my hands on a couple of Bitfenix Alchemy LED Strips.
-
So I've done the build using the parts listed above (in blue colour). I've also done a video about the build. This is my first video in 5 years. Had a lot of fun editing and producing it. I will definitely be posting future updates and more in depth overviews of the build. Here is the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osAdQAXL1oo

Thanks, that answered my question and I will get the 4670K and either a the gigabyte ud3h or msi gd 65 gaming. Both are around the same price here.

Can somebody tell me the difference between the FX 8350 and the i5 4670k. I am have gotten everything except for the cpu and motherboard. I need some input about this. I am a multitasker, gamer and I do video editing. I want a platform that can be upgraded in the future and has long term support.

The problem is in Malaysia its hard to find "good" power supplies because people here just settle for any generic power supply and the Cooler Master V700 is the one that stands out among all the other ones.

I can get a 280x if I sold some of my PS3 games.

Thanks for all the replies, I live in Malaysia and I get some of my parts through http://www.lelong.com.my/ (its kinda like ebay) and rest through my local store. I have about 1300 USD to spend but prices here are hiked up for some reason especially nvidia cards (The R9 290 nvidia equivalent in terms of pricing is the GTX 770). The system for gaming, video editing, photo editing and just everyday use. I do not want to reuse parts from the system because it will be used by my sister after I get it all cleaned up and modded to fit her use. So, I get a 1 TB WD Blue instead and a R9 280x now. Later down the road get a SSD?

I had a PC. It was a custom PC, my dad bought it from a local system integrator. It costed my dad 1000 MYR (311 USD). It was great for gaming at that time but over the years it became weak in performing such tasks. So, I ditched the PC for gaming and bought myself a PS3 slim. I modded the PC, nothing extreme just mounted a fan, overclocked the CPU, GPU, etc for fun. The PS3 was great for gaming until now I realised I missed having a PC. I missed going through modding games, fixing crashes, fixing bugs and the keyboard and mouse. I want a new system for gaming, editing and I am a heavy multitasker. I managed to rake up 4000 MYR (1300 USD) for a new rig. I learnt a lot from videos, forums and picked out the parts according to my needs. Here are the parts that I am going to get and the corresponding prices: AMD FX 8350 I wanted the FX 8320 but the local retailer only have the FX 8350. They said that FX 8320's are replaced by FX 8350's at the FX 8320's price. ASUS M5A99X Evo R2.0 I think this board is the board to get if you want a budget system with AMD processors. The 990FXA-UD3 lacks a few features that I really want on the ASUS board. Kingston HyperX Genesis 4GB X 2 I think 8GB of RAM is okay at the moment. I can always add more to 16GB in the future. Sapphire R9 270 with BF 4 I was sceptical going with this card because the R9 290 is really awesome but If I went with the 290 I will less money to spend on storage, Case and PSU. So, I sticked with the R9 270. Kingston SSDVnow 300 120GB For OS and some applications only. I already have a 1TB external HDD. I can always add more storage. Cooler Master V700 I want a PSU that I can trust for a long time. This one comes with a 5 year warranty and it's got good reviews. Cooler Master HAF XB This was the hardest choice to make. I wanted something portable, looks good, well thought out and unique. I wanted to go Prodigy M and an Intel system but I will be losing 4 vital CPU "cores". So, I went the HAF XB. Viewsonic VX2370Smh-led IPS Panel, Small Bezel, "Affordable", Saw it in person the other day, Its really great. Need I say more? Logitech G602 I wanted a wireless mouse and a practical one too. I don't want a laser sensor but I want programmable keys. Of course Logitech is the way to go. CM Storm Quickfire TK Brown Switches A good once again "affordable" keyboard with backlight. I chose brown switches because I wanted tactile feedback but not too much noise just in case my room mate or my family loses their minds. Now I am just waiting for all my parts to arrive. (takes deep breath) EDIT: This was the plan but like every other plan there are slight changes. I actually bought these parts: Intel 4670K MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Corsair Vengeance Pro 2X4GB Sapphire R9 270 Cooler Master CM690III Cooler Master V700 Logitech G602 Cooler Master Quickfire TK Brown Switches Razer Goliathus Speed Edition Extended Sony Pulse Elite Edition AOC I2269VMW 21.5" IPS Monitor Intel 530 Series 120GB SSD These changes are because It was hard finding parts that I originally wanted. Anyways, I plan to do lots of upgrades to this PC in the future and parts can be rotated since I have two PC's.

I like what you did with the HDD. That is just so cool.
