Need Help future proofing??!!!!!!!

[kiickz1]

Hey guys i was wondering if ya could help me im building a new comp and i need advice im think to with an i3 3220 iv cpu 4g ram nzxt gamma case and my two questions are i know that in march intel is gonna release the new haswell chip and i was wondering is it worth buying a 100 dollar mobo or worth buying a cheap one and upgrade to haswell in the future? and what kinda future proof power supply do i need i 500w enough or 600w but there expensive im trying to go with an 7850 or 7870 radeon card? can i get some help...

The Haswell will use a different socket

 

[TheBigTroll]

-futureproofing is impossible
-intel releases a new socket now every 2 years
-1155 is at its end.
-haswell will be on 1150
-no its not worth it. get a pc when you need one. waiting for the next would just start a new cycle
-get a good 550w such as one from xfx. 52.99 after MIR at us.ncix
-get a video card that suits your needs. i usually recommend a asus 7870 since its 222 something at us.ncix after a MIR right now.


in the end, get a pc when you need one. also please use the build template so that we can help out with configuring the PC

Future proofing is stoopid (lolz)
ima git dis cuz diz oder ting comz 0ut 1n da fuTur3

pointless if you can get something good now but change it in the future and not get a big performance boost

1600 MHz RAM with 2120 LULZ

 

[TheBigTroll]

the 3220 uses less power, has native usb3, and pci-e 3. not quite worth 20 bucks for -5% more performance. if you dont need the case, optical drive, and the hard drive, id spend the money on getting a i5. the 2 extra cores help in multi-player bf3

[kiickz1]

wait pc part pciker tells me i need a usb 3 case with a usb 3 mobo whats the cheapest usb 3 case or do i really need a usb 3 case?

 

[TheBigTroll]

the 200R from what i know has usb3.

 

[kiickz1]

but whats the (cheapest)

 

[TheBigTroll]

antec one but the GPU might not fit. dont want to risk it. its 7 bucks cheaper

anything lower than a antec one sucks

 

[kiickz1]

how about the Corsair Carbide Series Black 300R ot Antec Three Hundred Two, NZXT Source 210 elite can you check on those please?

 

[TheBigTroll]

yes they are just as good. just costs more and is a tad better.

 

[kiickz1]

so the nzxt source eite can fit the card? right

 

[TheBigTroll]

id still get the 200R

 

[kiickz1]

why and you dont know anything cheaper but still good?

 

[TheBigTroll]

antec one. might not fit the card though


and i dont think anything cheaper than a antec one is good

 

[kiickz1]

Ok can you check this please.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150604
---- It's XFX Radeon 7870 check the dimensions.

And this http://www.antec.com/product.php?id=704923&fid=4&lan=us
---- Check the antec one maximum GPU size support.

If im correct it can fit right?

 

[TheBigTroll]

it can fit but its going to be a bit tight. cable managing might be a little tough

 

[kiickz1]

Well i really cant afford it though so the i3 radeon 7870 8gb ram mobo and 550w psu and antec one case is around $550 is it a good setup?

 

[TheBigTroll]

yeah it will work

-cheaper better ram out there
-better video cards like the 7870
-the sandy i3s are 20 bucks cheaper. not worth the increase to ivy if you ask me
