Get the i5-3570k for gaming. No difference in gaming. Use the $ to get a 128GB Crucial M4.

Good idea on the CPU i will edit. I want to keep the Samsung SSD though.

Why? It is more expensive per gb at 64GB. Get the 128GB Samsung then.

 

[inzanebuilds9934]

To save money. I only want to use for the OS.

Your SSD is going to be the bottleneck if you stay at 64GB. Besides, if you really wanted to save $, you would ditch the useless WC setup.

really get the 128gb even if you just want it to be OS, but it really is more expensive at that part.

imo ditch corsair h100 and buy it in your next payday
