What will you be using it for?

CTurbo · Mar 30, 2014

It's compatible but I see a whole lot of changes I would make depending on what this is going to be used for.

You could easily get a better gaming system for the same cost. What is your budget?

logainofhades · Apr 3, 2014

This is what your build came out to. Keep in mind also the 4820k doesn't come with a heatsink, so you would need that too.

Thanks Im going to stick with this build as its way better than the one I made

,
I have a Zalman Z11 plus case and I want to ask is this all going to fit in it?

logainofhades · Apr 5, 2014

Yes it will. Enjoy!

Guest · Apr 5, 2014

logainofhades :

Thank you so much

Guest · Apr 5, 2014

logainofhades :

one more thing, does the cpu have a cooler?

logainofhades · Apr 5, 2014

Yes, that one comes with a stock heatsink.

Guest · Apr 6, 2014

logainofhades :

Any other motherboards I can use because this one is pretty bad

CTurbo · Apr 6, 2014

Any other motherboards I can use because this one is pretty bad

Which one is pretty bad?

Guest · Apr 6, 2014

CTurbo :

the ASRock B85 Pro4

CTurbo · Apr 6, 2014

That is a very solid motherboard. Why would you think it's bad?

Guest · Apr 6, 2014

CTurbo :

I need something more high end and I have 200$ to spend on it so any suggestions

Guest · Apr 6, 2014

I was thinking something like Asus Z87-Expert but i dont know if everything will be compatible

CTurbo · Apr 6, 2014

What build were you going with?

Guest · Apr 6, 2014

CPU

Intel Xeon E3-1230 V3 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor

Motherboard

Asus Z87-Expert ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Memory

Corsair Vengeance Pro 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory

Video Card

Asus GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Video Card

Case

Zalman Z11 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case

Power Supply

EVGA SuperNOVA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

Operating System

Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)

Total: $1614.90

CTurbo · Apr 6, 2014

Well it's all compatible and it would be a very good build, but that Z87 motherboard is completely unnecessary. I would scrap it for a B85 or H87 motherboard and get a ssd with the extra money.

Guest · Apr 7, 2014

CTurbo :

since my friend is giving me his Z87 for $60 I am going to get it but I need to ask what does an SSD do exactly?
I know its like a HDD but whats the difference other than the size and the name

Guest · Apr 7, 2014

Would I be able to use the Intel Core i7 4770 Quad Core CPU because my friend said he can give it to me and would it be better than the xeon?

Is my build compatible?
