Anyone?
I at least need to know compatibility..

The motherboard isnt compatible with the cpu the only motherboards that support ivy bridge are: Z77 Z75 H77 and x79

Thanks:)
I'll probably end up going with the AMD build in the end because its cheaper and, from you, can handle normal-high quality on most games:)

I would rather pick Intel. The phenom series are 3 years old while the ivy bridge just came out. The 3570k would defiantly last longer than the phenom 965 also is 2x better in performance, plus it takes almost 2x less watts! With the intel build I would drop your ram down to 8gb, 8gb is already plenty of ram. I would try to aim for a radeon 6870 just so you can play all games with decent graphics. If you want to overclock your cpu make sure to get a good cpu fan like a hyper 212 evo(30$ Canadian) Also overclocking the new ivy bridges are much harder than sandy bridge(ivy bridge doesn't take raising its voltage up nicely, it gets up to 20 Celsius higher than sandy bridge in some cases.)

I meant to choose the 6870.. :L
I don't plan on overclocking, I'll just leave it standard..
Thanks for the help!

I've changed the images now, from the sites to a spreadsheet because its easier to show the exact parts and edit if need be

Do all the parts of the builds go together?

Yes.

But by the time you have enough cash to actually make a purchase, who knows if these parts will even be relevant, particularly a 965.

P.S - considering a 600w Corsair PSU ( which I can only assume has better internals ) is cheaper than a much more unfavoured OCZ product, it only makes sense to grab the Corsair.

That's why I thought I'd build an Intel Ivybridge build because that is brand new and will last longer than the 965 + It's better anyways:)

I'll change it to the corsair tomorrow, just add a note for now
