New build 2014

Lukeyboi34

So yeah there is basically no budget but obviously looking for realistic builds.

I will be using the desktop as a editing and gaming machine.

Has AMD released any decent CPU's this year I know the FX series are good but just wanting to know of there is anything better.

I know its not really an upgrade but if I kept my current PC but got the z77 sabertooth and another 570 with watercooling all round would that be ok

Oh crap I forgot I have 2 vertex 4's in RAID0 and a Seagate SATIII 2Tb HDD but I was thinking get the Samsung evos and raid0 them and use the v4's in raid1 what you think?
