Hey guys ! I've been long long away from rig build since my last did.. abit lost with the current rig trends.. and i need your guys help me in picking
Basically after my previous desktop dead from thunder short circuit I just move forwards to laptop as I've travel alot until now again back to desktop rig world

CPU :: Intel Xeon or i7 ?
Yeap as i mentioned above I will need to do a lot of heavy rendering, according what I 'googled' and most of the post over here I think what i need is CPU intensive instead of GPU
But I'm confuse with some technical questions which do I pick ? At first I was good to go with Xeon as the parallel processing power is better, but some said i7 multi-threading wins at some point..
Performance wise, which shall I go ? as I saw i7 at certain level is quite exp thou ...

Mobo :: ASUS or Asrock ?
Never heard of Asrock before but it looks like it's like one of the mainstream ?

Memory :: Performance / Value RAM ? 8 / 16GB ?
From my experience of ram choosing for laptop.. Performance or Value ram doesn't make significant improvement.. I doubt that on desktop.. suggestion ?

GPU :: SAPPHIRE R9 280X TOXIC / VAPOR-X
No really a demand for this time as my 3yrs old HD5770 still working well (hopefully), I found that R9 280x looks like the decent hot pick in here ?
If budget allow I don't mind do this upgrade Question only for the different on Toxic & Vapor-X, I read some post said it's most probably the same and do the RM50 worth the different ?

HDD :: WD Black / Purple / Green ?
I'm very storage-hungry user as most of my working files counts by GB..
2 or 3TB looks like my need here. For a file storage purpose, do I need a better one like Black or Purple ?

PSU :: 850w / 1000w ? Corsair / CM ?
My most less knowledge on this everytime
My maths sucks i can't understand the format on the post here, which I need assist in this very much..

ODD :: Liteon 24x SATA DVDR+W
This one I think should be fit me enough ~

Case :: Corsair Vengeance C70 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case
Only this will be my only 'must-have', I like the design and it score high feedback on temp control and i'll need this rig operate almost non-stop..
You guys have any cheaper/better choice suggestion ?


I know i'm annoying questions people.. so.. thanks in advance!
