After a couple of posts here, I've decided to upgrade a large chunk of my system now since waiting won't seem to provide much benefit.

My system currently will look like (B marks that I will buy the component):


  • Case: Antec 900
  • Processor: Intel i5 4670k (B)
  • Graphics: MSI GTX 670
  • Power: Something with 600-650 Watts
  • Memory: Something? (B)
  • Mobo: Something? (B)


  • So basically, I'm missing new memory/mobo to go with my chip. Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals are almost ending, so I was hoping to get the most bang for my buck while the deals are out. However, not sure what I should get. Will be overclocking everything as much as I can, so want to take that into account.

    Any suggestions? (Would be nice to know why as well, so I can figure things myself next time). Thanks alot!

    Any explanation on the motherboard? I always find it hard to figure out the difference as long as the slots are all there.

    Also, why the extra power supply? Its the same wattage it seems? Or did you put it there just in case? Thanks!
