2 or 3 depending on case you like, and future plans for expansions, if you like smaller cases then take that

I'd say the Intel builds but if you get an B-series motherboard then don't get a K-CPU. Also, if you can then get a better graphics card. Otherwise, those are all really nice builds.

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

2 but ,i say cut down on your motherboard and CPU ,get 3570K with a Z77 Board (MSi's Gaming edition perhaps...) and get a tougher Graphics Card like a GTX 760/770/660Ti PE/670 it would Be More GAMING optimized

Aren't Sandy, Ivy, and Haswell all still about the same price? Why not just go with Haswell?

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

Aren't Sandy, Ivy, and Haswell all still about the same price? Why not just go with Haswell?

because ,they are still a bit highly priced , 3rd Gen Intel CPUs Perform like hell and a good Z77 Board Got All the features You would want ,Z77 with a 3rd Gen i5 or even an i3 with a tough Graphics card is the Perfect combination for a Budget Build,not need to go for any thing higher if you want the best bang for your buck

and i wanted you to cut down on the Mobo Because Z87s are fairly higher priced then Z77s ,getting a Z77 will save youmore for the CPU ,saving you more to get a tougher GPU ,cause i think a 750 is not quiet their

well it's your call ,i talked based on our prices over hear ,sorry ,one more thing ,why not go LGA 2011 straight away ?

 I thought you where going for HarCore Z87 ,like a Sniper or some thing ,why not ?

[Keudn]

well it's your call ,i talked based on our prices over hear ,sorry ,one more thing ,why not go LGA 2011 straight away ?

well if the prices are different there yeah its a different story, haswell isn't worth an extra $20 on ivy if that is how much it is different there

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

when your building a rig ,every buck counts dude

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

well if the prices are different there yeah its a different story, haswell isn't worth an extra $20 on ivy if that is how much it is different there

Ivy is still really Big money over hear ,then how about Haswell !

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

well if the prices are different there yeah its a different story, haswell isn't worth an extra $20 on ivy if that is how much it is different there

would you consider going LGA 2011 ?

[Probenja]

I'd go with no. 2 just because i love mini-ITX builds. Especially in the node 304.

[Keudn]

would you consider going LGA 2011 ?

For a workstation or server yes, gaming i would stick with i5

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

think ahead dude

[Keudn]

think ahead dude

by the time games start using multiple cores and doing it well all but the high end xeons are going to be outdated, it would be like buying a 6 core C2D because one day more cores will be used, it doesn't matter because it is still old, regardless of the core count

naah man ,i'm not talking about xeons, i'm talking something like an intel 4900K Extreme Edition series or an 8Core AMD (will have to swap the mobo then) ,that would be awesome
