Actually you can crossfire a apu and gpu, it's a hybrid crossfire also called radeon dual grapics.

Frankly, instead those benchmark sites (who all happen to only use their own benchmark software), who only give you rought FLOPs comparisions, I'd rather rely on good 'ol Tom's hardware:

If you would have looked at my link to AndAndtech you would know that they compare with all the current mainstream games as well as GPU/CPU intensive applications depending on what you're comparing...
HWcompare also compares FPS from current games as well as the bandwidth, pixel rate, texel rate etc...
So I'm not sure where you pulled that BS out of :/ Neither of those sites show any benchmarks from their own software
Also,
The reason? They use games for testing, i.e. what they do and what you need in actual real world applications are a lot closer than those benchmarks.

You're right. AndAndtech indeed does just the kind of testing I was calling for. Sorry, my bad, I should've taken a better look.
I was mostly speaking about Passmark, as it uses its own software to do the "testing" and therefore results are not as close to real world usage as one would hope for.
Having taken a look at Hardware Compare, though, I can't say for certain that it's much better, since it merely compares RAW GPU statistics instead, "putting them to the test"... unless I'm missing something?
Given that, their "results" are not as intuitive as that of Tom's & AndAndtech's in choosing (or ranking) cards for general gaming use.

Pardon me, I should have clarified, I'm from the crap part of Europe.Nevertheless you sir have got me thinking. The price difference between my build and your proposed build is of ~60$, and it's awfully tempting.
With that AMD APU it will have the same video card that you planned on buying already built into the CPU so you'd be able to just get the APU and buy a video card to Crossfire it later on if you're strapped on cash.
You can't Crossfire a discreet video card and an APU integrated one... besides, the performance of APUs is still noticably below what any decent mid-range (i.e. affordable) GPU can deliver.

Neither of your listed MOBOs have neither USB 3.0 or eSATA support. This means any external hard-drive you might buy will be limited to USB 2.0.
Also, as Nachbar already pointed it out, unless Intel is significantly more expensive where you live, there's no point in buying AMD at the moment.
I found no reviews of your choice of PSU that involved load testing, so for all I know it could be a piece of crap. Make sure your PSU can actually deliver what it promises! Find a model that has been thoroughly tested (oscilloscope noise test, voltage & amperage measured under load, etc. by the reviewers), otherwise you risk frying your whole system, because you didn't want to spend another $10 on a more reliable one.

I've heard and believed this story too... unfortunately, it's not *exactly* true. Japan has had a long history of censorship, long before the Americans penned the new constitution.

Her death wouldn't further the cause of drug decriminalization or the dismantling of the corporate prison business (that thrives on the "war on drugs") on bit.
No, just have her out of office and finally put people in charge who act based on evidence.
Ha! Fat chance... not so long as politicians don't have the balls to stand before the public and say: Yes, drugs are bad, but not all drugs are the same. Some are more dangerous than others and criminalization is not the best method to deal with all of them... and some are no more dangerous than drugs (tobacco, booze) already legal today.

If you want to save some money you should just get an i5 2500k, unless you require your computer for video rendering.Sane advice, especially since minimum frame-rate on video-games is a lot more GPU than CPU dependent.

I'm using Winamp.Is there any other music player that's pretty much awesome out there?
I suppose Winamp is one of the best of the players around.
It produces great sound for the ears.
Other music players are only good on its visual appearance but not on its performance.
Frankly music players pretty much produce identical sound. The top two players - Winamp & Foobar - both have a modular approach, so you can actually switch out the default decoders & (audio) renderer for your own choice.
The question that tends to make choose one over the another is more about user interface, aesthetics and further features like equalizer and/or volume auto-gain or how the software handles a music library.

I dont know about SEED and Destiny since im not really a fan of it. I only like them because of the cool MS' but for 00 only two Zakus? I really think that 00 was great from season 1 to season 2, also the movie although the movie was a bit...uhh... but still it was awesome!I also liked AGE, at first I thought it wont work but it turned out pretty great but not that great.
The characters were cliche, the Gundams invincible...
HURR MY GUNDAM GETS COLORFUL THAT MAKES IT INVINCIBLE DURRRRRRR
Besides the plot-armor I love the Gundams in SEED. Some of the best ever.
It's SEED's story and characters that make it shit.
Antw0n I was talking about Gundam 00.
At least SEED had a well defined plebothium "powering" the special ability with caveats and stuff, a'la Evangelion.
Frankly, I liked SEED, it's not as bad a show as some people make it out to be. It had OK characters, decent plot and initial mecha designs (frankly the Strike was a nice concept with its mission packages) were actually inspired. The whole super-angular aesthetic was also a nice change.
The bad? It didn't have a character comparable to Char Aznable, who was a complex character with varied flaws and motivations. Beside the much maligned Flay Alster most of them were too much of goody too shoes. The other problem was the MC was developed too much into a Jesus figure. Frankly, as long as he had flaws, even Kira "Jesus" Yamato could be entertaining to watch.
SEED Destiny? It's a mess. The plot doesn't hold together, the director just *couldn't* do characterization and finally they side-lined their whole main cast to pander to the fans of the old show. What's infuriating is how much better the whole debacle could've been... if there was a talented director in the seat, like they had for the ONA Stargazer (we learned more about the MC in a single episode and had a better sympathy for him, even though he was a brainwashed zealot then we had during the entire run of Destiny for Shin Asuka).
Those are the story problems. Just like the original Gundam, both SEED, Destiny and later on 00 suffer from the design by committee problems of focusing on merchandising, that is toy like mobile suit designs (as model kit sales are the *only* measure how Sunrise judges its own shows) and later own moe character designs when the otaku merchandising really took off. (00 is as oddity, as for once they try to change tactics when they realized they had a lot of female fans).

The characters were cliche, the Gundams invincible... and everything was eventually solved by GN magic fairy dust and Double-Oh Asspulls. Let's not forget the fujoshi bait Gundam pilots or the otaku pandering mamarry assault (there even was a beach episode!).
Season 1 had pretty much no whatsoever tension until the very end and when things finally started to get interesting (characters actually died!) things were rushed, so people tended to die the very moment when some noteworthy change happened to them.
Season 2 once again failed good character development and got rid of the interesting geo-politics that were the one saving grace of Season 1. Once again, people were killed off (or pretty much pidgeon holed into 1 dimensional caricatures of themselves - like what did Hallelujah *say* for 4/5 of the season?) the moment they could've made interesting choices, this time centered around their struggle on how they should deal with a central authority that has exceeded its mandate.

I'd debate some of your choices:
1) The movie trilogy version of the original Gundam is vastly superior in most ways to the TV series. Tomino could get rid a lot of the crap that Bandai insisted on cramming into his war drama. (Better pacing, less merchandising driven monster suit of the week and more focus on plot and characters, better animation for the final attack on A Baoa Qu).
2) WTF are you doing giving the MS Gundam 0080 OVA only 3 Zakus? It has outstanding animation that aged *really* well, good, realistic character designs on par with anything else in the franchise.
Granted, it's a story not really focused on mobile suits, it's more a character drama and that fact it's about soldiers is sometimes even incidental... it's still one of the best damn war stories ever told, and one that's very much needed given how enamored some fans can be with mayhem and its tools (the mobile suits themselves). I know, I know... it's just fun! Still, I think a sharp reminder of what weapons are really used for is something that you can't be too anvilicious about.
...and when it's mecha time? Darn, do those suits looks mighty fine.
3) Wing by comparison has rather poor production values, it's cast is often rather two-dimensional while the plot can't really seem to make up its mind whether it wants to be a war drama or a political essay.
I'd give it 3 stars at most, although the nostalgia glasses probably make this entry a fondly remembered item on most fan's list.
4) While 0083 is one of my favorite OVAs, it does have its share of problems, the pacing of last handful of episodes could've been better handled and the motivations of the characters for taking the actions they do take could've used more screen time.
No, I'm not one of those fanboi raging on Nina Purpleton's actions... being a Lunarian who was wising up to the fact that the pretty toys she and Anaheim had been building were being used for war and mayhem and being sick of it made her actions make perfect sense, albeit the fact she was never given a chance to articulate her stance hurt her image. The only one who truly got the proper treatment was Anavel Gato (...and Cima Gaharu in her own special short... too bad it wasn't included in the actual OVA!)...
...however what about the *rest* of the cast? Why does Captain Synapse go against his superiors? Why does Kou Uraki keep chasing the rival even when there was no sense in it? We can make educated guesses, and these actions spring naturally from what we know of the characters... too bad that's all we get. Given how the show handled them so far, they really could've done with some more screen time.

What people often forget is that WIFI is a two-way connection, meaning that you might get connection problems not only on receiver, but transmission problems too. You not only have to be able to receive the router's signal, the router also has to receive yours too!
Getting a dedicated antenna for your WIFI card (or a card & antenna) can drastically improve connections where trouble is caused by the low power of your device's WIFI capability instead the router's.

There are probably dozens if not hundreds of doujinshi out there that deal with your interest. Why don't you see them? Let's see:
1) The creator only made a short print-run, so it was never circulated widely enough.
2) Even though it has circulated in Japan, it was never scanned.
3) Even though it was scanned, no one in the west got it off Perfect Dark or smg. similar, so scanlators never saw it.
4) Even though a RAW is out there, scanlators are simply not interested.
Here's the good news: e-hentai.org hosts a damn lot of RAWs. So do a bunch of other sites. If you really care about this (and got some cash), you could commission a scanlation yourself.
