This is a build that is probably easier 20x better then yours to start with just by shifting the money where it matters.

heh neat site. Have to mess with that later.

Are the haswell chips on the 1150 really better then the old ivys on the 1155? I figured build it older, and then some time down the road when intel started melding chips to mobo's and releasing new ones, I'd just pick up an older cheaper I7 and pop er in there. Not a great fan of messing with OC, so I figured on just using the boost to 3.8, but leaving the K in there should I ever really need it down the road.

The mobo id probably change to asus (just like em) But the SSD im mainly using for regular applications, (I had thought about trying to load the internet with management with one.) and games. Specifically a few mmo's because of the constant rate they continually load stuff. I hear the HDD going a mile a minute frantically searching.

ddo has about 10gb gw2 16gb ect and they constantly seem to increase. So I figured 200gb or up for the ssd.

Thanks for the suggestions and that nice website there.

Yeah, the site is a nite one i was really impressed with it when i first used it. But to answer your question ASrock is a company that broke off of the ASUS company some time back and they have the same amount of QC and RMA's as ASUS (both companies are equal) and most of their motherboards support the UEFI Bios. Also I would recommend the later chipset in the i5 series since it will be noticeably quicker. Besides in gaming I would not recommend a i7, but just out of curiosity what is this computer being used for? The reason I recommend you a 128 GB was for the operating systems and programs, and the hard drive (1 Terabyte) for games and files. Reason for recommending this way is because that SSD's have a limited amount of read/write cycles, and you will not notice any difference in games using a SSD vs. HDD. Also 8 gb of RAM is more then enough for anything you will want to do with your computer.

It's mainly just for gaming. I mostly play mmorpgs so that's really what the SSD is for. Every time something opens, something is done, something is used, its always constantly loading sometimes to the point of overwhelming. So I figured get a lightning fast search device for the games.

The new EQ game, and the re released FFXIV will be run on there along with some GW2, d&d online. And I'll also be playing the oddball shooter like BF4 when it comes out, COD ghosts, maybe some specific other game that peaks interest. I figured I don't really game that much on consoles anymore so why waste the cash on em and just build a nice new pc.

Ive also heard that some of the newer games were going to start using 6 cores from whatever they're tossing in the new xbox/PS systems. I know the powers with intel atm, but hearing that made me think are more cores needed closer down the road? Right now games use mostly 2 cores, some I think 4.

The new xbone has a 8 core AMD FX 8350, which brings my next question as to why when the intel is better. Also the PS4 has the same processor. Overall if you do mmorpg's then ssd's would be better for you.

Ok went over everything, and this is what I came up with. Gonna use my old HDD for fire storage ect. Use the SSD for main programs.

Pretty sure the psu should fit everything there. Also changed the Video card as this one seemed a bit faster, and cheaper.
