May I ask what FSP is?

a not so very good PSU brand. They make,PSUs for other companies such as the EVGA G1 series ( not g2 which is made by super flower )

Upgrade to a Z87 platform and get an i7 4790K so you can overclock. Overclocking makes a huge difference in performance.

there both the same, but is he going to overclock, can he spend more to get the k-version?

 

 

 

WE STILL DON'T KNOWWW!!! :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D  :D

Get the BX100 120gb ssd. It's cheaper, still very fast, and just as reliable. Since you got a H board, I assume your not overclocking. Get the 1231v3 instead of the 4790. It tends to be cheaper, and offers the same performance. I'd suggest a 390 or 390x since they actually have the advertised amount of ram, and since they have a whopping 8 gigs of ram, you'll be ready for super high res. Also, get a better psu from one of these brands: xfx, seasonic, Silverstone, antec, and maybe thermaltake. I haven't heard anything bad about them.
