Future Purchase

I'd stick with the 3770 then, as you are going to be doing some video editing, it will be worth it over the i5. I think that would be the best option for you!

Thanks guys, I think I'll stick with the 3770.

Thanks guys, I think I'll stick with the 3770.

Good choice (same cpu processor as my original spec )
The fans you posted look pretty nice as well, once you place your order you could send them to PCS to fit them for you. You need to inform them of your request once you place your order and include the order reference number on the fans reaching them.

I don't do any video editing, would you say there a significant difference in performance in video editing between the i7 3770 and the i7 3820? would it depend on the programme?

Hi Ruben

Just found this and it shows the 3770 is better and also the 3820 uses 130 watts compared to the 3770 using 77 watts which is because of the older 32nm die being less efficient compared to the 22nm architecture of the 3770.
The only good reason to pick this is if you plan to upgrade the CPU in the future and the quad channel memory like music guy says.

The GTX 670 should max most games on high settings, if you don't plan to add a 2nd GPU you can get the P8Z77-V LX. You can also get the samsung 16gb memory 1333Mhz.

Cheers i will, and is there any considerable difference with 1600Mhz than the 1333Mhz?

My understanding is that unless you are overclocking there is no noticeable difference between those 2.

Cheers Ruben, Thanks again.

Question open to anyone, if i order fast 5 day delivery, will it get the same build quality as if i ordered the standard 12 day delivery? will it get the right amount of testing etc. just worried it will get rushed trough if they have a lot of orders on.

It will go through the same quality & testing procedure as any other order,it just goes a bit in front of the queue.
