Is my pc build correct and balanced

[Ethan supabass]

Our dollar is weaker.

I don't understand

I don't understand

 

The Canadian dollar is weaker than what is was two years ago.  I got my i5 3570K for like $220.

I made a small mistake on the motherboard.  It was fine, but was missing one thing:  a USB 3.0 header.  You could use it, but the front USB 3.0 port on the case will not be USB 3.0 compliant.

 

 

I switched it up a bit.

You would have to change the motherboard to get all the advantages of the K-Series CPU (overclocking using a multiplier).  When I plan my PC I usually spend the extra for a CPU like this.... BUT... I still have not overclocked mine.  This is as cheap as it gets:

Intel just released their new CPU line, but it is really expensive.  It will be months before prices come down.  I don't know if you want to wait.

oh I am planning to buy this babe at the end of summer because I am going to work in a part time job to earn that 500$

I went over budget a little because I assume that by the time I buy it the price will be lower

Awesome!

 

That gives you time to research, learn about the parts and watch the market (prices).  Things will change.  The new Intel CPUs have integrated graphics almost as powerful as a GTX 750/R9 260.

Sweet but can they crossfire

lol, no.  It is just an advancement.  One small step...

It is not AMD... these are Intel's "IrisPro" graphics.

I am Ethan and i just made a new account due to the fact that I school blocked face book and my old account is signed in with face book lol

BTW then what's the use for the powerful irispro graphics if we can't cross fire or sli because we have amd gpu

[Ethanbass]

I think you forgot the cooling unit for the cpu

[stconquest]

The CPU has a cooler in the box.

They are not that powerful.  It is a step forward towards not needing a discrete GPU at all. 

 

The CPU and GPU are on the same chip.  The GPU takes up have of the space on the new CPU.

 

They are good for tablets especially, laptops too.

So will that intergraded gpu improve my pc performance :unsure:

Is the intergraded gpu the reason that the new cpu is so expensive

And this feels like the apu from amd

[stconquest]

No.  That is just launch day pricing.  The cost will come down.

[stconquest]

No, It would be worse.  You are better off with the i5 and R9280X.

[Ethanbass]

No, It would be worse.  You are better off with the i5 and R9280X.

So I'll just go with the i5 4690k right

[stconquest]

If you can afford it.  You would be fine with the cheapest i5 4430.

[Ethanbass]

If you can afford it.  You would be fine with the cheapest i5 4430.

right now it's lest than 100$ over budget and it should come down after 2 month

maybe I can get my self a wifi mic and a new keyboard and mose

[Ethanbass]

If you can afford it.  You would be fine with the cheapest i5 4430.

one last thing is that I already have a big dubstep cannon(huge speaker) at home so I don't have to spend any budget on my speaker
