Motherboard help

[greenito]

Hey guys my laptop burned a few days ago and im thinking of doing a low budget build, i already set a must have cpu (i5-4670k) and i need a motherboard (user friendly and be able to do sli and cross fire), a psu and ram.

I don't need a graphics card right away so no need to put one but please have in mind while choosing the psu.

Just to make all clear i have a hdd, case, a DVD reader and peripherals.

Sorry for the bad English and make the terms simple because im still new to all the names and features.

 

PS:I live in Portugal so prices and availability of components are a bit different.

Uhh, How did your Laptop "Burn"?

You should give us your budget and where you'll be shopping, a 4670k is not exactly a budget CPU

[Guest]

Why not a 4690k for the same price? It has a slightly higher clock speed and better TIM under the heat spreader for around the same price. For a cheap Z97 motherboard, I would go with the ASRock Z97 anniversary or the MSi Z97 PC Mate.

[Clyne]

an i5 4670k isn't a budget cpu, more like a cpu on a 800 dollar or more gaming build, budget and place where you'll be shopping will be helpful to us.

My laptop was 5 years old and the fix is a new gpu and i really want a desktop to be able to change parts

a real budget would be around 500 euros but i want to save much as possible

reflow it, then be a noob and sell it.

for a whole system with an i5 including a motherboard that does sli and xfire, without having a radeon 6450 in that won't happen

sorry but i dont really like amd cpus (bad experience) plus i dont need all of those parts, only the motherboard, a cpu ( i would like a i5-4670k if possible), ram and a psu capable of running at least one medium graphics card

why not get a 4690k instead, same thing as the 4670k but it has a higher clock speed, it's newer than the 4670k, and runs cooler than the 4690k

Thanks for the tips

[Clyne]

Thanks for the tips

i meant the 4690k runs cooler than the 4670k

[King of Thorns]

Looks nice, but I'd rather go with 2x4GB, for dual-channel... I'd only get one 8GB module if I plan to add one more later, and 8GB is quite enough for gaming.
