here's the deal: I've ordered all my parts locally (from Beirut, Lebanon), but I've left out the motherboard. I only have these two options available to me:
1. Intel DH87MC - $135 locally
2. Gigabyte GA-Z87-HD3 - $204 locally
the rest of my system specs are as follows:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4430 3.0GHz Quad-Core Processor
Memory: Kingston Black Series 4GB (1 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM 64MB Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: MSI GeForce N760-2GD5/OC GTX 760 2GB DDR5
PSU: Gigabyte PoweRock 500W GE-N500A-C2 (36A @ 12v)
considering my choice of CPU, I was wondering if I could save a few bucks by opting for the Intel branded board.
any input is highly appreciated.
