You would be better off going for Linears Rig
intel is better than AMD but games are more GPU based than CPU

Yes, generally Intel are better than AMD but which one you should get depends on the your budget and use... for gaming, you will 100% not notice the difference, and it's more cost effective to get Intel. Yes, in benchmarks AMD get beaten, but in real life you won't even realize.

You're welcome :)

You'd be able to upgrade your card but not Crossfire them (have two at the same time). And you can, to a certain extent, overclock but a) it won't really be that much and b) if the overclock fails and causes damage to your PC you won't be covered by warranty.

lol i dont think mr linearhd works for pcs :p unless he is secretly.

you can add things to the pc but if you do and in some cases where you happen to damage or cause a fault in the pc, you wont be covered under pcs's warranty but fans should be simple and you really cant go wrong with cathodes and fans. and you wont really need a bigger psu, the one you have will be fine :)

TBH, I would advise against adding anything as that PSU is on dodgy ground as it is... I'm not 100% certain but you might just get away with the fans. Also, yes, you will keep warranty as long as you are careful with your installation and don't damage anything.
