get a i5 4690k instead and a z97 board

mikida95 · Aug 21, 2014

I already bought it.
And this is a PC for a long time so I wanted i7.
And I'm not doing oc. So no need for another mother board.

mikida95 :

Then you'll need to do a BIOS update, read up on how to do it

but rest is fine

mikida95 · Aug 21, 2014

I already did a bios update.

legend001523 · Aug 21, 2014

mikida95 :

then all set, looks fine, though if you already bought it, why did you post a thread? :/

mikida95 · Aug 21, 2014

Just wanted to know what you think.

legend001523 · Aug 21, 2014

Money couldv'e been spent on a board but that's just personal preference

mikida95 · Aug 21, 2014

What other board I could've buying?

legend001523 · Aug 21, 2014

a h97, it's got more features and supports future cpus

mikida95 · Aug 21, 2014

What features? Motherboards is my weakness. I know nothing.

legend001523 · Aug 21, 2014

better ssd support, like sata express, m2, better on board audio imo, better components like military spec, and sli/crossfire compatibility

mikida95 · Aug 21, 2014

I don't have ssd... Its a waste of money
I'm using headphones. Does it still matter?
What is military specs?
And the b85m d3h support crossfire either

legend001523 · Aug 21, 2014

1. okay, if you say so.
2. Not really
3. Better, durable components
4. ah k.

mikida95 · Aug 21, 2014

So... After that.
What do you think of my build XD

legend001523 · Aug 21, 2014

looks fine, as I've said

mikida95 · Aug 21, 2014

And the cpu cooler?
I should've taking the hyper 212 evo?
Or the ninja 3 is better?

legend001523 · Aug 21, 2014

never heard of the ninja 3, but since you can't overclock, stock will be fine but evo 212 will be nice too

legend001523 · Aug 21, 2014

I prefer hyper evo, more well known and reliable
