I want to keep the case and motherboard but what about the SSD

 

[Marcopolo123]

but if you dont overclock the z87 motherboard makes no sense...

Alright ill get it

Why not spend a little more for the Z87-G45? If you wanted to do an SLI/crossfire configuration the Z87-G43 wont support it

I was going for a black and red theme so the only g45 I saw was blue

 

[ChillKyle]

They have a MSI Z87-G45 gaming series in red and black color scheme.

Also if you don't plan on doing a SLI/Crossfire configuration, get about a 650 Watt PSU. PSU tend to lose efficiency overtime. My Corsair RM Series PSU is amazing. Provides best bang for buck and its FULLY Modular. Also its 80+ Gold

The one I have is good too(too much money)

 

[ChillKyle]

Not that I know of. You would probably need to shell out about 225$ for the MSI MPower Max if you wanted a motherboard that had built in wireless/Bluetooth.

forget that lol

The only downside is the Motherboard only has "N" Protocol for wireless. Most of the time you wouldn't need to worry about it. Then agian, AC Protocol is getting more popular. Do you really need wireless capability? Gaming is much better on an Ethernet connection.

i know it is but the modem is far away

 

[ChillKyle]

Gaming on "N" Protocol will be enough. As long as you have a good wireless router and keep all your drivers updated you should be fine for this build.

Try to also upgrade your internet. Sometimes that can hinder gaming performance.
