[ShoTzPvP]

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DsjLK8// I've been trying to build a gaming pc for a while but never built one because people telling me what different parts to get.

Will This Run BF4 and overclock // 

• Some Intel B85 chipset motherboards may need a BIOS update prior to using Haswell Refresh CPUs. what does this mean???

[thekeemo]

that means get a newer board unless you have a older compatible CPU that you can use to update the bios

otherwise it wont work

Save up more you'll be glad you did, you shouldn't be spending more on your CPU than GPU.

1. Spend more on your GPU than CPU

2. Get a Z97 with a 4690k, or get a 4690 with a H97
