Switch to a hive psu, 500gb HDD, and then fit in that 2500k? Wouldn't that be much better...? Same price too...

Wait....
Amd, and Gfg comp for $850 O.o
what

that pentium prolly comes close to that phenom

that's just your fanboy talk

cheaper case and psu is easy.
a 8150 is crappy.
a 7850 is nice.

everyone says that 8150's are bad...
but I'm sure they arn't as bad as it seems, comes close to the 2500k don't it?
most things of a 2500k or higher would beat it though for sure.
But it wouldn't give you lag in games at all or something?

same performance for 100% more power consumption? nty

8150's are pretty bad for gaming, they're not worth it unless you need to do heavy rendering and you don't have enough money for a i7.

Did I remind you about the 965?

GHOT, I don't tend to give builds out but you really need to chill on the 1TB WD Blacks. You can make a better build with an SSD&500gb HD and other areas for 850...
No reason to recommend it for gaming builds etc.
