what do you guys think?

If you're just gaming, get an i5-4670K or an AMD 8350, and if you're not going to Crossfire, get a 650W PSU.

I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it. Forget about the bad memories of the past.

Yeah, what for?

 

If gaming then get an i5

Scratch the Mobo, it's way too expensive for that need

The PSU is way too strong unless you wanna do SLI/crossfire in the future (which i don't recommend)

The graphics card is exceptionally expensive. $400 on a 7950 is ridiculous. maybe 2 of them for that price is okay.

 

Edit: actually now that i see it's new zealand a lot of prices make sense. damnit!

who cares...

oh right sorry.. will edit my post as well..

ill be using it for a bit of everything, gaming, photo editing and i want to get into video editing..

prices are a bit whack, and i got that mobo becuase the color scheme.. but my have to wait for the r9 280x for the black gpu board(forgot what its called?)

Well, you haven't really given us a use case..... (I hate it when people do this)

 

Hmm... You may want better cooling for the i7. Also, you don't really need a 750W PSU.

 

 

Yeah, what for?

the reason i picked the 750w psu is because to go lower is about a 10 dollar difference, unless i go fully modular id have to go up about 100 dollars for a 650w psu

PCB :) The thing that the actual card is built on.

 

You could always get a backplate for a card, so you don't need a black PCB.

thats it :D, if i get the r9 280x i wouldnt need the back plate but ill keep it in mind :D

Yep :) Don't limit your options by aesthetics (Even though that's pretty much all I care about xD)

as long as the gpu will work im happy :P aesthetics just helps :P 99% chance i wont get that mobo and ill just get an asus C z87 or w.e it is, crappy gold D:

Version of After Effects? Are you doing any of this professionally?
