I hope my customer likes it....what do you guys think....oh by the way, I have heard an earful about the over priced cpu and better graphics but this is what the customer and I settled on.
 
What's the system to be used for?

And I know you said you've had an earful over the CPU choice but it's still a daft idea, if they're gaming like I assume.
 
Ah, well if they're dead set on the CPU then with those uses it's not nearly so much a waste.

Only thing I'd recommend is a better PSU, unless you know that to be a good brand (I've never heard of it). So yeah, something like a Corsair.
 
Yea I remember him mentioning other CPU and RAM intensive uses other than gaming so we were trying to tell him 3820 isn't the right choice. I still think the 3930k would have been a better option as it's still the same CPU with slightly less L3.
 
yeah...kinda decided to tryout the PSU brand...read some great reviews from people who bought it...certainly will stick to more popular ones like corsair...
