Budget Z77 MB or is Z78 a must

LS_7 · Nov 25, 2013

I can find a good setup for 3570k at about $80 total less than a 4670k setup CPU and Board. With that said is it worth paying that extra for Haswell? Also I dont want to spend over $140 for a MB what should I get if I plan keeping the posibility of Crossfire in the future so 2x8 pcie is fine. I am used to Asus but MSI has some good prices and they look good (window case) I like how MSI is the only company I found that has a phone number for tech support available on their site. Any advice would be great. Basicly do I have to spend over $140 to OC a 3570k and run dual pci cards?

decent board to do what you asked for $115 lowers difference down by $25.

You can actually get the AsRock Z77 Extreme 4 for less than that on newegg right now: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157293

And no, spending an extra $80 to go from a 3570k to 4670k is not really worth it when the performance increase is 5-10% at best. Just get a decent CPU cooler and overclock the 3570k.
