A few (hopefully the last) questions:
Memory:
How much benefit would I get from getting 16GB instead of 8GB of memory? Also, what benefit do you get from more expensive memory? Isn't 16GB 16GB?
CPU:
A lot of people are saying the i5 2500K would be a better pick than the i7 3770 as it's close in performance but costs a lot less? Any feedback on that from the pro's in here. Maybe that only goes for gaming and not for things like video editing and graphics work?
Windows:
Home or Professional? The only benefit Professional seems to have is the ability to run programs in XP compatibility if they don't have W7 compatibility, but I'm not sure how relevant that would be?
Power Supply:
Is 550W enough for the build Goku posted if I also add in a SSD? If so, what kind of sick builds would you need to run in order to require bigger PSUs (is that even an official abbreviation for a power supply lol?)
Sorry for asking so many questions, but I'm quite a noob in this area and I want to try and understand everything as best as possible before I make a purchase.
