So yeah I've decided just to stick with an 8350, can you recommend a decent motherboard + RAM?

Hey man
Not meant to crash your dreams but I recently saw the thread , if you use your PC for like 10-12 hours daily , don't ever buy an amd CPU , not because of heat , but because of power consumption, I was also kinda fanboy of the amd processors and bought them , so my net speed was slow , like 2-4 mbps and I left for downloading 5-7 days overnight.....and now my father received the bill..it usually came $30-35 here in India , and look what we have , a whooping $95!

Power in Scotland is really cheap so the whole power consumption arguement is void here. I have my PC running 24/7 and we get what? £5 more a week than usual?
