Yeah if you want to overclock - also get a good cpu cooler.

If you dont want to overclock, then get a cheaper H97 board with any other 4th gen i5.

Great. I would recommend the H105 though, similar performance to the H110, but with a newer pump design and uses 120mm fans, so you have more options there.

At the moment I have a Advance 8102B0 X11 Gamer PC Case Plastic ATX White, and air flow is pretty shit, and right now I have a limited budget so I'm probably going to get the case before anything else, as my ram fried about a week ago, so I haven't been able to reply on this, so at the Moment I'm using my iPad

Well I feel as though getting the case before everything else is a good idea?

Yeah getting the case first makes sense, so you can build it up in the new case.

that argument about hyper threading being useful in games have been going on since the i7 920. rarely do games utilized that intel feature in a way that bumping up your i5 clocks to compensate cannot do.

Guys a few weeks ago my pc blue screened now it doesn't boot, I clicked new tab on google chrome, and it turned off, now every time I turn it on it says "your PC has ran into a problem" with the error code "BAD_POOL_HEADER, I google this and it said could be either my ram or my harddrive well I have replaced ram and tried a different hard drive from an older computer, and it done the same thing, my pc boots fine in safe mode, just not in normal mode, I have windows 8.1 they said it has caused BSODs but whenever I try reinstalling windows8 from my disk it does work, because of the BSOD, any answers?

Its true that overclocking will improve performance, but tons of games can use 8+ threads now. A user on overclockers tested out a 2.0Ghz 8 core Xeon (16 thread) and when playing games saw utilization across all 16 threads in many games, which made its low clock speed matter much less.

I think the real point, is that having a quad isnt a bottleneck yet, not so much that the games cannot utilize all the threads.

Its quite interesting how different games are threaded:







And very interesting the difference of Crysis 2 and Crysis 3 threading
