Thank You for the Helpful Advice

Well your CPU and Motherboard aren't compatible for starters. Your CPU is socket LGA 1155 and your Motherboard is socket LGA 1150- They need to match.

is this one compatible Intel Core i7-4770K Haswell 3.5GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770K

Yes

is there anything else that can be fixed? What do yo think about the gpu? I am willing to get a geforce instead of the amd if there is a better alternative around the same price

Is the build mostly for gaming? and do you plan to OC?

 

[nrto123]

gaming..thats all im going to do with that pc.i dont know much about that subject so id say no im not planning to overclock. If i were to overclock what would prevent me to do so with this build?

Ok. Your original CPU was a Intel Core i5-3570K. The 'K' means it's OCable, which you don't need since you don't intend to OC. And I just realised what your budget is! Give me a bit of time and I'll give you a better build, but you will be a bit restricted with that budget.

 

[nrto123]

oh ok i got it. so without oc this is still a bad build? this is my first build haha

 

[nrto123]

first i want to tell you i appreciate all your help thus far. i was also wondering if you could have the build b4 midnight because i want to take advantage of the black friday deals before they expire.

Haha, I'll try. Gimme a couple of hours, trying to work also!

ok sounds good.wow i just added up all the prices and it comes to around 1100..i guess ill move my budget to 900-1000..if possible please keep the cpu and gpu..i am content with them. im also changing the gpu to geforce 770 because of all the issues with amd

Here is a sub-&1000 build. I didn't have that much time to research so this is just a rough idea!

Few things to bear in mind though:
1)You would massively benefit from investing in an SSD (Solid State Drive), even if it's just for your Operating System, it will really speed up your PC.
2) The CPU comes with a stock cooler which will do the job, but you might want to think about getting an after-market one though.
3)There are no extra case fans included in this build. The case comes with 3, but a couple more would be a good idea with that 770.

Sorry that I don't have time for more detailed advice, hope this helps!

i made some few changes..i changed the cpu to Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K because i figured a i5 cpu with turbo boost will benefit me more than an i7 cpu without one. I also changed the ram because egg was out of stock. i aso included the os which i left out. Now with a cpu thats incompatible with my original MOBO im stuck. Any suggestions on that? BTW i think the Black Friday Sale ends this weekend so you have more time to think of a better build. Ultimately i think im going to have to increase it to 1000-1300$.

There was no i7 in the build, it was an i5-4570 (which does have TB up to 3.6GHz). It has similar performance to an i5-3570K (which has slightly better power consumption but is (simply) last generation).

Post the updated permalink so we can see what you changed

i want to go with this board because it is being mentioned as a good low budget mobo. but looking at the reviews at newegg im a little skeptical. do you know if this is a decent mobo Asus P8Z77-V PRO

which should i choose? they all have some really bad reviews with the lifespan,bios problems, defectability, etc. does that mean i should move up to the z87 series although they are pretty expensive
