Just gaming? get the 4670k, more? get the 4770k. I would recommend you getting one of those processors at your local microcenter if you have one.

Microcenter is not in Latvia

considering the differences between the i5 and the i7, i would have recommended to go for the i5 but then i see a really overpriced mobo so i'm sure you can afford the extra for the i7

well i spent all of my money on the mobo so now im wondering about which one to get

*facepalm* 

If you can afford the i7 go for it, if not the i5 will do.

Why the maximus formula though, why didn't you go for the hero

plans of watercooling(well this calls for an i7 ) and the look of the armor it has is just beautiful

If you plan on doing a custom loop in your system including the mobo please consider watching this video of linus http://youtu.be/351NpFWIqIA?t=5m33s

If you plan to go for the hero and i5 4670k(if you want the pc for only gaming) you can save a lot of money .Also with the money you saved you can buy some games or get a better case or save some for your second 780

since i got the formula i dont think il be going the hero route and i will be doing live streams and some video editing and hardcore gaming...

and yes its either a custom loop or the CM Hyper 212 EVO

[Megazero]

Haha, that's one overkill Mobo. You might want a better case to show off everything inside, and for cooler either a full custom water cooler for GPU + CPU, else a H100i + 2 extra Corsair SP or AF120 fan for push/pull + some other Corsair Red LED fan to illuminate the case :3 I'm going for a Black/Red build too so I did a bit of research on this.

well yeah overkill it is...... it looks amazing .... but about the case i dont know are there any good options? more to the cheaper end tough btw i was looking at the Aerocool Xpredator X1 in black but i dont know

I think il be getting the corsair LED fans and the SP fans unless there are better options... (moneh*misspeled on purpose* vise cause you know the mobo was a  little expensive )

and the watercooling is gonna be custom loop when i go watercooling. (it wil include CPU GPU and MOBO)

[Megazero]

Look at my build in my signature, I'm using the Aerocool Xpredator X3 Devil Red, I have picture + small review about the case as well. Else I can recommend the Corsair 750D, it's big but very beautiful~

the 750D id say is a little more then id love to spend on a case and it has too big of a window and the X3 and X1 both in red have too much red insade. I might just go with a full black case and put red LED fans on and some light strips i dont know tough

How about a 300R then?

i kinda like the look of the c70 idk tough

but the windowed 300r looks nice

[coen113]

i hoped it was going to be an H440

The C70 is nice too, it's kinda too bunky for my taste but those handle going to be a great help when you want to move it around

if you encourage me it might be....

cause i had forgotten about the H440

I have never seen a Lan parties in my life except maybe when my whole class challenge another class to a CS game so we all go to an internet cafe and do a LAN battle, dont think that count though~

its a lan party isnt it?

well... i think the H400 by far is the best looking red/black case, i just love the minimalistic design and its great for cable management

I guess :3?

i love the black with the small red accents

but idk about the airflow cause the fron is just a front panel without any air holes....

if you can find any place in europe that shipps the h440 to Latvia im getting the h440
