First, which ram is better in your opinion? I saw good reviews for both. Also is the power supply decent? I saw good reviews but it is rather cheap. Finally, the big question, which cpu is better? Is the fx-8120 better than both? I looked at benchmarks for gaming, and the 4170 beat out the other two. Thanks guys
