Personally would get a 960T over 4100.
You might find the 5900RPM hard drive to be rather slow.
And I don't know how much you can trust an XtremeGear power supply (not that you have a choice with iBuypower/CyberPower).
 
I wouldnt do a 5900rpm hdd for my boot drive.

I tried it and it was just too slow for me. It was so slow that I ended up taking out the 2tb and putting in a 7200 1tb drive.

Also I have been reading that the new FX series arent anything special for the price.
 
well i got the tower for roughly 700, and im not looking to for tooo fast, mainly for swtor and wow on high/ ultra

For gaming, the 7200 RPM would come in handy. The higher speed would increase the loading time of just about anything. As an example, in RPG games, when you run or travel fast into a large city, at times it may take the city a second or two to load. This loading time, although having no loading screen, is partially based on hard drive speed.
 
I would steer away from the XtremeGear power supply as a friends caught fire just weeks after getting it.
 
is replacing the extreme gear really nessacary? (ive already ordered) but in your opinions your dangerous is it? cause i probaly run 4-5 hours a day pretty, and its off for the rest of the day.

Replacing it now would be hard to do, since you've already ordered. I would try though. If that's not possible, I would HIGHLY suggest buying one a higher quality one and replacing it. A low quality PSU puts your entire system at risk. Just look at this one:

I am posting to hit on the same points as others already mentioned. That power supply is a disaster waiting to happen. I am a huge corsair fanboy. I have never had an issue with their PSU's. Having a faulty PSU or one that is less powerful than you need can destroy your system. DO NOT risk either. Go with a reputable one. If they won't change it before arrival, send it back when it arrives and get your money back.

Also, I agree that the CPU is nothing special for the price. I switched from AMD to Intel when AMD bought ATI and haven't looked back.

When making this type of thread, allow a few days for all the forum trolls (like me) to get in here and comment. You'd be surprised how many threads some people here read and research per day.
