First of all i don't plan to overclock anything, so is this motherboard good enought? Also can you suggest me what PSU to use? I'm thinking about Cooler Master B700.

[Fassive]

if your not overclocking get the non k version

its cheaper and you cant overclock it

nm: its the same price om pcpartpicker

[kimura1243]

Well there isn't that big difference between prices. I might overclock it in future just not now.

go with an i5 4460, a  b85 or  h81 mobo and get yourself the evga  gtx970 , will be  much  better for gaming

Get a 2x4GB memory kit. It is less expensive and assures dual channel operation at the advertised speed and timings. Team Zeus Blue 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

 

PSU suggestions: XFX P1-650X-XXB9, XFX P1-750B-NLG9, Corsair CX750M, or Antec HCG-750M
