I don't feel like doing the legwork on the rest...
You will never notice the difference between those 2 CPUs but it looks fine. Worth noting newegg has the 270x for $12 more than that 270. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...m-_-14-127-761
It is something like 10% faster than the 270 but uses a bit more power to do it.
The 270 won't feel dated for a while. It is a good spot on the value ladder imo. The 265 is, at the moment, a slower product for similar money. The sapphire card he picked has a lot of good reviews on the egg. It also looks like the cooler would be pretty quiet. Seems like a good choice.

If you have a microcenter nearby I would look at the 7850k for CPU/GPU. At full newegg/amazon prices I would probably go for an i3 or i5 processor + discrete graphics. Do you do any video encoding? That would be the only way I can see that 8 core processor being worthwhile. Older MMOs aren't...

I don't really have a firm budget but it isn't something I want to be upgrading in a couple years unless I am just adding drives. The CPU and MB are a combo from Microcenter @ $240 AR for both. Really not sure how much CPU I need but I figured the i3 was cheap enough. If the i3 4350T was...
I am looking to put together a media server. The plan is to use it as a NAS with enough power to actually transcode HD content. It won't be used for anything else really. Just storing a ton of crap, accessing files through my desktop, and streaming through my ps3, roku, & laptop. I thought about...
M4 back down to $345 AC. I was actually all set to order it till I read those reviews on the corsair drive. While I think it would be hard to go wrong with the M4 that corsair looks like it may be THE drive to get.
