Thanks for the suggestion!

Do you think i should get an i7 instead of i5 processor?
Does myneXTcom do assembly after delivery as well?

No you don't need an i7. It is meant for rendering 3d, video editing etc.

Gaming wise an i5 will do.

They will assemble the rig and send it to you.

Bro royfrosty, just wanna ask, what's the diff between adata value 8 gm ram vs gskills ripjaws 8gb ram?

1 stick vs 2 sticks.

In terms of real world performance? No diff. Benchmark yes.

Gskills comes with a spreader, its so call a "heatsink" for rams.

Value ram no spreader. Which is better? No diff unless wanna oc it.

Video encoding?

If you are talking about parallel computing and yet value for money, i would say get AMD FX8230.

Can but i7 faster, more rams helps too
