Folks:
Well as you can see from the components I have on my rig below on my signature it's time to upgrade. I recently just built a HTPC and it went very well so I wanted to continue and build a new desktop.
Here is what I purchased so far.
CPU:
Intel Core i5-4670 Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I54670.
I will use my Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme on this new CPU
PSU:
CORSAIR CX series CX750 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
Memory:
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL11D-8GBXL
Video Card:
EVGA 02G-P4-3753-KR GeForce GTX 750 Ti Superclocked 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card
SSD:
Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Single Unit Version Internal Solid State Drive MZ-7TE250BW
Monitor:
I will use my HP LP3065C again.
Mobo:
What are some of your suggestions on this? I'm open to all ideas. Here is one that I've heard good things from.
ECS Z87H3-A4(1.0) LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
I want to keep a Z87 chipset.
Case:
I was planing on using my CoolerMaster Stacker 830 SE again to save cost. However I am thinking about this case.
Silverstone Tek GD08B Aluminum Extended ATX / SSI-EEB / SSI-CEB HTPC Computer Case Cases - Black
Reason is that I can put it on my desk rather then have it sitting on the floor like my stacker is now.
I will be running Windows 8.1 Pro on this unit.
When I built my rig below I took a very long time to choose a Mobo. I made the mistake in my opinion to buy an Abit board. I want to avoid that mistake again if I can. I want this build to last awhile before I upgrade again.
I will not be overclocking this unit. I just want quality components that are much faster then what I have now.
Thanks for all the help
