New rig. I need opinions/help with setup

[WriteX]

I'll be buying components for a new computer after this summer. Although I do have something in mind, I kind of need opinions on this. My budget is around $2000. (The prices are high as f*** here in Norway)

 

(Won't be buying from newegg. Only using it for reference.)

I was planning on getting a AMD FX-8350 CPU because, well, AMD is cheaper than Intel and I've heard a lot of positive feedback regarding this CPU... But then again comes the problem with AMD being quantity, not quality. (Although I haven't noticed any difference between my 1100T and the i7-2500... So I don't quite get it.)

 

I was thinking of the i7-4770K if I were to end up with a Intel processor, but I might have to get a cheaper motherboard or power supply if that is the case.

 

As for the rest, I was thinking about a 7970 or a GTX 770 GPU, a 850W PSU, 8GB RAM, but I'm not sure. I need a motherboard, preferably cheap, and a fancy, effective and not too expensive case as well.

Would anyone mind helping me? :/ I know people easily get irritated when threads like these are posted, so I'm sorry for posting.

 

Also, I will be doing photoshop related work. I heard Intel is better for graphical work and those matters, but I'm not quite sure about this...

Build a PC monsters at putting rigs together for anyprice and what you need it for

Hyperthreading isn't really going to make jack shit of a difference unless you do a lot of video editing/work with really really really really really really really high resolution graphics.

The 680 is only 2gb, i would go for a 7970 from komplett where you'll get Crysis 3 and BioShock: Infinite with the card. And it has more memory. Not sure what's Cheap when it comes to motherboards but maybe MSI Z77 MPower, Socket-1155 or ASUS P9X79, Socket-2011.

 

I spent 3000 on a new pc last year and i have the 7970, i can run bf3, arma 2 and many other games on Max without lag.

Ah. I'll put the 7970 on my list for now. I'm going to check out the GTX 770 later, though. :o

Neither one of those motherboards will fit the i7-4770K (It requires a LGA1150 socket). :S - I was browsing the motherboards category on Komplett and I found a relatively cheap motherboard that looks good considering the specs of it. (ASUS Z87-K, Socket-1150)

 

I need a case. Preferably a big tower... Do you have any ideas? :o The only big tower I am familiar with is the NZXT Phantom. It looks really nice but it is full of plastic. The original fans are very noisy as well. :/

NZXT Phantom Special Edition Sort/Orange and Cooler Master HAF X Nvidia Edition are the two best looking big towers from komplett.

 

I have the CM Storm Stryker Gaming Big Tower which i think is pretty sexy but it all comes down to your personal taste i pc casing and how deep your wallet is.
