Building first AMD rig

[fyqri]

Guys, I need some reviews on the choices I've made on this new build I'm going to have.

First of all, it's AMD . Using AMD processor. Not intel. don't go around talking about Intel's a better choice etc. I know it is. It's a personal thing, and i rather not disclose it here. No I'm not a fanboy, but right now, the processor chosen is AMD.

Will be using for intensive gaming, video editing and converting.

Processor: AMD 8150FX
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX
Graphic Card: XFX RADEON HD 7970
RAM: Corsair Dominator 4GBx4
SSD: Corsair Force Series 3 120GB
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB
Chassis: Corsair 500R
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-750TXV
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B5ST Internal Optical Drive

Tad more expensive than the ASUS one, but according to that it supports higher ram speeds.

Looks good to me!I think i would get a GTX670 or GTX680 over the XFX RADEON HD 7970 but to each their own all in all pretty good job your build shall serve your needs well.

thanks bigcyco1 and username-taken

ya i'm still considering gtx680 and 670 as well. maybe I'll wait till the day I'm going to buy them and see the prices. that would be in a month or so as I'm going to have my university exam coming next 2 weeks.

about msi, i did consider that, but i figured from reviews that i dont really that much of speed for ram. i think 1866 is more than enough with 16 gb.

and one more, is the PSU of 750W sufficient if i plan for crossfire in the future or should i go for 850W or 900W?
