you cant max out all games at least fir bf3 u need gtx690 for to max out

Yes, they should work together. However, why did you go with the Micro ATX? Also, is this just for gaming or for work as well? If it is a gaming rig then I would get a better GPU to do your CPU justice.

Hold your horses.

That motherboard doesn't support overclocking. So there is no point in getting the 'K' series CPU. Get a P67, Z68 or Z77 series motherboard to overclock.

If you don't want to overclock then just get the i5 2500. (non-K)

Hey, i don't plan on overclocking as I no nothing about it and heard if you have to ask don't do it as it can break stuff, I am not really concerned about maxing out everything just getting at least medium to high on games.

so... better gpu ?

is this a good set up ?????????????

 

[Jay-Z]

Looks good to me. Get a Cooler Master Hyper 212+ and happy overclocking.

 

[kevin07]

so is this motherboard good because that was the thing I had trouble choosing, I presume I will be able to overclock with it ?

 

[jaideep1337]

yes you can overclock on the z68 chipset(i.e the asrock mobo) but get an aftermarket cooler first as i5s tend to heat up when overclocked
