Hey people, I'm planning on building my first, mostly gaming, computer, i plan on using an Intel i5-4670 processor due to the fact that i don't plan on overclocking right now, unless i should get the Intel i5-4670k and overclock at a later date...??
The tower case i'm planning on buying right now is the CiT Dominator Gaming Black Midi Tower Case

My main questions are:

1. What type of motherboard should i get that'll work extremely well and i'll be able to stick in about 16gb of RAM in??

2. Should i buy the Intel i5-4670 or the Intel i5-4670k and just overclock at a later date??

3. What type of PSU should i also aim for??

Much appreciated too whoever is able to reply

I'd go the 4670K, no need to OC now, but down the road, the ability to OC can in effect prolong the life of the rig....For a mobo, I'd suggest the Asus Z87-A or Plus, both are reasonable good solid boards the OC well leave room for expansion and Asus seems to have the best handle on the Z87/Haswells

+1 Those ASUS boards are excellent and for the minimal extra cost of a K you will have the ability to OC latter.
