New pc

[intelmachine]

Hi there,
So i wanna buy new pc , something with i7-4770k , i dont know which mb i should pick , my budget on motherboard is £160-170 ,on ram £70.I don't need gpu for now cause i will use my old gtx 260 for now. New gpu i will buy next month with new power supply.

btw..500 Watt corsair power supply will be enough for this i7-4770k with gtx 260??

Should be fine dude. I can bet your last cpu was more power hungry than Haswell and if it worked for that last set up it should work for this.

Do you really need the i7? If it's just a gaming rig then i strongly suggest the i5 4670k. That extra money can be used for a better gpu.

My old cpu was core 2 duo-e6750. I dont need extra money on gpu cause gpu will be gtx 680 anyway + i wanna this 4770 k

For a motherboard take a look at either an MSI GD65 or GD45

+ 1 for the MSI Z87- GD65 gaming , Tom gave it a good review.
If you have enough and can find one , get a Mpower Max

so...i7-4770k +MSI Z87-GD65 + which ram??
this will be good - G.skill tridentx ddr3 2x4GB 2400MHz cl10??

 

[Tripp]

yeah that ram should be fine

The MSI gaming motherboard is definitely a great choice

I have had the Z87-GD65 for 2 weeks now and so far it hasn't missed a beat. I am running it with an i7 4770K and 8GB Corsair vengeance RAM @ 2133Mhz

I would seriously recommend one and the red RAM looks sweet in the board.

So if you're making a new rig its worth going for a Haswell board? or for a older gaming IVY? Is everyone waiting for Asus to come out with a Haswell gaming Mobo? I was going for Asus Maximus V Gene but Haswell Performance has me thinking again.

Go for Haswell for a new build and also just stick with GB/MSI.
