Multipurpose Rig-Intel $$2500
Looking to build a new rig. It will be used for a lot of burning/ripping/serving files (movies including BR and music) to others in the house. General office use as well as gaming (if I can find the time). Ive started with this list and would like advice on any changes or additions.

Thoughts on i5 vs i7. May overclock a bit. Thanks for any input. |

Get an Asus motherboard. If you want speed, definately get an SSD for OS and programs. But you probably should get at least 128GB and go with Intel or Crucial.

1. Replace the Asrock board with an Asus.
2. Replace the Ripjaws with Corsair Vengeance - low profile if you are going to use an aftermarket CPU cooler. 3. Replace the Samsung drive with a Western Digital Black with 64mb cache, SATA 6.0. That ADATA SSD is the perfect size for caching, but you may want to get a SATA 6.0 SSD. I do trust ADATA as well as Intel. |

Stock cooler is fine even with moderate overclocking I prefer this one if you want to make a serious home entertainment system Newegg.com - Ceton InfiniTV 4 Quad-tuner Card for Watching Digital Cable TV on the PC, PCI-Express x1 Interface I do not see why you would want anything more than that 6970 but to answer your question, you will want to go with the Seasonic X series. That is a great power supply you chose though.Certified Power Supplies |

The Corsair AX series PSU's are the same as the Seasonic X series.
