    Soo im thinking of buying new computer

    guys, I'm thinking of buying myself a new computer (mainly for multitasking. playing games, working with videos and photoshop)
    what do you think about this configuration? is the video card good/will it be a bottleneck for the CPU? Is the PSU enough for overclocking both the video and CPU seriously?
    is the i7 worth the money? or should I look into amd?
    can you recommend me another better video around the same price range?

    You can forget about overclocking the CPU with a B75 motherboard. You need a Z77 chipset for that.

    I'm not sure why you spend so much money on your computer to put it all in a €30 case.

    Do you really need the I7 and 16GB of RAM?
    Intel i5-3570K @ 4.7GHz | MSI Z77 Mpower | Noctua NH-D14 | Corsair Vengeance LP White 1.35V 8GB 1600MHz
    Gigabyte GTX 670 OC Windforce 3X @ 1372/7604MHz | Corsair Force GT 120GB | Silverstone Fortress FT02 | Corsair VX450

    that's very true, sometimes, we really don't need the extra features or configuration. in other way, it's a waste of money. you can view some popular products, the customer review can also help you decide whether it's your favored one.

    OP where do you live so we know what sites we can use.
    also define serious overclocking? +- 4,2 or 4.5 + clocks on the cpu?

    When I'm not playing games I'm working with video editing software and I need every bit of ram, Right now on 8gb PC im having problems every day because of no ram

    about the CPU I'm not sure it's the best choice but here an i5 is like 250 euro, why not put 50 more for the i7? ;d
    around 4.5, I'm from Bulgaria

    can you guys recommend me a motherboard that I can use to OC this cpu?

    How much is an 8350 (or 8320) over there? That might a good choice aswell, only if budget is of concern. Afaik, gamingwise it will be a bit worse than the i5/i7 but on the editing side it will be better than the i5 and close to the i7.

    Other than that, i dont like that PSU. I would get something better like XFX/seasonic/corsair TX/HX/AX line.

    amd 8350 is around 200 euro here
    what about an nvidia video card that's close to the one I listed up here?

    Here's site where you guys can check prices too:

    200 leva = 100 euro

    Motherboard - GB 970A-DS3 / AMD970/ AM3/+
    CPU- AMD FX-8320/3.5G/X8/BOX/AM3+
    Cooling- CM SEIDON 120M WATER COOLER
    RAM - 2x8GB DDR3 1600 KINGSTON BULK
    Video Card- GB R787OC-2GD HD7870/2GB GDDR5
    PSU Corsair CX600, 600W, 80+ Bronze

    is 600W overkill for that video/CPU combination? and is it compatable with this motherboard?
    And what exactly should I look for in a box to keep these in?

    is PSU FORTRON AURUM600 GOLD better option to the corsair? it's kinda ugly tho
