use the newer one if you can, so go haswell unless you have a very good discount on ivy brige. the thermal and preformance is worth it.

You forgot memory. also you could save a good 40 bucks on the psu and get a semi modular 600w psu.

Ah never mind then. Yeah I saw it was, I only made that comment because I thought you hadn't gotten the memory yet and that a different semi modular unit could save money. Solid build!

Question ? Why did you not put this under cpu & motherboards, & description of the use of the build

b/c i was planning wat to get, then i updated it with a build.

Any extra overclocking you might be able to hit with Ivy might be negated by Haswell's increased IPC.

[WoodenMarker]

You should either get an unlocked cpu like the 4670k or get a non-z87 board. The z series is for overclocking. Also, no point in getting an aftermarket cooler if you're not overclocking.
