Not sure where you get your CPU info from but don't want to get into whats best arguement its personal preference
Benchmarks

Electrolytic Capacitor thing interesting are we talking about the Jap Caps or the lesser quality stuff from China and the rest
There was a big deal about leakage one time too
At least blown Capacitors are easy to spot if you can be bothered to swap them
SSD has a few more benefits than just boot up, helps gaming but its only minimal, had mine a few years only invested a relatively small amount on a 250Gb for that reason, No problems so far . Spindle HDD's do the Job adequately for the rest of storage, SSD's Still expensive I agree !!
Problems with EVGA popped up just after I bought a EVGA PSU GS650w had me a little concerned but its been very good for about 3 years now performance really solid. There was also the Bursting into flames saga with GPU's very embarrassing for them for a really dumb mistake
Keep buying AMD's good man

it helps keeping Intel in check with their Prices for me
