Okay im going to be build a new computer, that i want to last a long time. So far I choose
I7 4770k, should i get a 3770k instead?
7850( using from prevous build)
samsung 830 128gb( using from previous build)
fractal design r4
i want 16gb ram, dont know what ram i should get yet or speed.
Not sure on the motherboard yet, I want something with a z87 chipset. thats good for overclocking, reliable, and going to last a long time, i dont need extra feature. And dont want to speed more then 200 on mobo.
Antec hcm-620m power supply, I had it before it i though it was very good and quiet.
Noctua cpu cooler.
I want my system to be quiet as possible, and run cool. Let me know if theres someting i should change/ get for improving on my build.

If you want to use a Z77 motherboard, you can't use any of the Haswell chips, since the Z77 chipset doesn't support it. You need a motherboard with an 8-Series chipset.

Get the 3770K, Haswell has a tiiiiiiiiiiiiiny increase that can be made up with a 100mhz OC. The 4770K runs hotter and OCs worse.

Ok, that makes a bit more sense. I think I'd have to go with The Q6660 Inside though. All the benchmarks I've seen regarding Haswell have shown that there isn't much of an improvement.

i would sell the 7850

do you want 16 gb cause you do video editing or 3d work? if not 8 is more than enough. speed wont change much with ivy bridge. and i second the 3770k.
