Get rid of the AMD Processor, maybe a i5 4460 , and NEX Psus are junk

Listen to these guys. I've been using AMD ever since my first build and I now wish I'd spent the extra money and went with Intel. AMD are very nice when you're on a budget, and my FX8350 definitely does the job for what I do (gaming, video editing, music production, programming) but it can feel sluggish at times. When I get the money I'll likely be changing to intel and that means purchasing a new motherboard as well, so it's definitely worth spending a bit extra on Intel initially than spending double that going through AMD CPUs
