Need help finishing i5 4670k config.

ZeroRequiem · Aug 11, 2014

Hello fellow readers,
I need help finishing an i5 4670k config for my friend.

So far we've decided the CPU, and GPU which would be an AMD R9 280x (if money is tight then r9 280) and 2x4 GB Crucial RAM.

Could you recommend us a good H87 or Z87 mobo(under 100euros), a good CPU cooler (im looking at the CM hyper 212 evo) a PSU and a case? The case doesn't have to be fancy it just needs
to have good cooling options.

Thanks!

Which country? May I suggest using the 4690K (newer version) and Z97 MB? What is your total budget?

ZeroRequiem · Aug 11, 2014

Thanks for the replies, the country is the glorious (not) Hungary. We've also looked at the 4690k problem is we were already over budget (around 600 euros) so we had to switch it to the 4670k since it was around 20 euros cheaper. Z97 mobos are okay too if they it fits in the budget.

Problem is he is trying to sell his old config now, and he could sell it then the budget will be around 750Euros, but sadly selling an old config aint that easy.

Which one is better for OC-in MeteorsRaining?

Jovan93 · Aug 11, 2014

ill just comment for case and GPU try looking up to Termaltake V4 Black edition its like 40e and has good cooling options and this is one more thing to have in mind about the AMD R9 280X maybe you will not have this problem but maybe you will i really whould not risk it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVkE04C61Ys look at video

MeteorsRaining · Aug 11, 2014

MSI is generally not my choice for OC.

I'd prefer ASRock or Gigabyte for that matter.

I personally have an ASRock EXTREME4 and it doesn't give me any issues while OCing my i7 to 4.5GHz.

ASRock my choice here.
