I'll be building a desktop for the first time in over a decade. Been using a laptop but now i want to get back into Pc gaming.
I'm having trouble deciding on either Micro atx or Mini ATX. I'm only interested in single GPU gaming (have a two year old Gtx 560ti given to me will upgrade to Gtx800 series when released).
I'm looking at either Maximus Impact or Z87I Deluxe. Initally i wanted the Impact but now I'm not so sure because of supposed sound issues and sound is important to me. The Maximus Gene intrigued me too but built in Wifi is important to me and that's missing. All this will be enclosed in Bitfenix Prodigy but i can't order case until I know motherboard type.
I'm ok with other brands motherboards too just as long as it's has great sound/ and wifi built in.
Parts already ordered/owned: I74770k, Samsung 840 Evo 256gb, Corsair Vengeance LP 8gb, Galaxy Gtx 560Ti, Seasonic X650, Windows 8.1, Asus Dvd drive, Baracuda 3tb
Need CPU cooler recommendation too and whatever else is missing
