hey guys im building my first Gaming PC Ever. however i dont have a large budget (500$) and i need to get ram. mobo .cpu and gpu.

my current pc is a dell inspiron 560. and i added a 5670 HD 512mb....and yea my case is a minitower so im gonna get a matx board because is all i can afford. atm all i can play is cod4 in low settings and some mmo games

im from chicago and i found out about a store were pc parts are really cheap called Microcenter and i found the i5 2500k for only 139.99

i was reading somewhere that the z77ma-g45 board doesnt support 2500k cpus and u cant OC them... i was wondering if
there was a new BIOS update were maybe they fixed that and u can now.

I am aware that Microcenter is selling i5-3570k for 189.99, and it comes with a $50 dollars mobo voucher, I believe there was a MSI mATX mobo for like 34.99 with the voucher.

For PSU, you need to change that, the most reliable are Seasonics, then Antec, Corsair, XFX and PC P&C depending on their make.
