This might be a pretty boring build because I do not intend to be gaming or OC'ing at all. I will install some quiet fans if the noise bothers me. I am planning to build the system in BitFenix Prodigy (itx) black version with mesh front. Case is cheaper here in Finland than at amazon.co.uk.
Main use: Autocad, ArchiCad, Revit. Parts from Amazon.co.uk and
CPU i7-4770 212.67£
MOBO: Asus H81i-plus 49.38£
PSU: XFX ATX 550w 44.98£
SSD: 840 evo 250gb 99.99£
HDD: WD 1tb CaviarBlue 42.99£
RAM: Kingston 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC CL10 DIMM Memory Module (Kit of 2) HyperX Plug n Play 111.99£.
My main worry is this cheap mobo. Am I sacrificing anything going with such a cheap mobo? I will lose RAID, i guess. But how about fan control? Do I lose all fan connectors? So what would be my options when I try to adjust fan speeds. (I will be putting some money into quality fans if needed.) I can buy a fan controller, but do I get any info on temps from BIOS on such a cheap mobo. I am a total beginner in this.
What else am I sacrifing with this mobo? The price is just so tempting. I am open to suggestions on mobo.
I need to check if that psu is Haswell compatible, of course.
What about my RAM? Is it O.K? The prices on RAM are through the roof nowadays...
