    My New Build.. its been ages!!!

    For the price of WD VR you could get proper 120/128gb SSD and 1-2 TB storage drive. Also i would consider geting GTX 670 as it's way cheaper and not that much weaker performance wise. On the other hand, as u said u were 1.5y w/o rig why rush now when Haswell will be up and runing soonish so...

    Build for sister (gift)

    I've been using Be Quitet! PSUs for some time now and i'm quite satisfied with this line but can't say the same for the prices (same units 10€ more than they were last year) I played a bit with her rig and i can say that i'm more than impressed with trinity apu and tbh started to consider...

    New build for for everyday use + file storage,sharing and streaming

    @Aquinus E-450 seems like a decent option and rather expensive if i compare it to something like A6-3500 or A6-3670k with MBO and Ram for same price, even cheaper if taking former? Aslo i will get more power for streaming and transcoding as it seems. 8correct me if i'm wrong) As for OS i've...
