james latimer · Aug 15, 2013

what about the z87 is it a good mobo chipset for intel? with i5 and i3 or just i5? im going with the either the i5 3550p or the i3 3220

the Z87 is a 4th gen Chipset and cannot be used with the CPUs u listed
with them u need to use Z77 or H77

jinayhvora :

what about the new i3 4340

jinayhvora · Aug 16, 2013

I really would recommend u to go with an i5 as dual cores are fast becoming redundant

well i dont want to spend to much on my first pc build so unless u can find a cheap and GOOD i5 cpu im goin with a i3 (or amd)

u can get an i5 3350p, that's the cheapest i5 available currently and according to me good value for money
