Go to solution Solved by No Nrg,

Yep seem good for me too ,. but how about cpu cooler ? is it important ?

Since you can't overclock a locked chip I would stick to the stock cooler that comes with the CPU. It's not the prettiest or quiet thing in the world, but it works and is free with the CPU.

Either of those intel builds will keep you running for a while, the only thing I would do is if you can squeeze it out, go for an H97 or Z87 motherboard. That H81 is starting to age and doesn't support the CPUs without a BIOS update if my memory is correct. 

@SkywardKkalox and @No Nrg well done on the quick builds.

Fine you want the PSU tier list? Have the PSU tier list: https://linustechtips.com/main/topic/1116640-psu-tier-list-40-rev-103/

So as CPU manufacturers release new chips that run on the same motherboard, the motherboard BIOS needs an update to be compatible with the new CPU. 

You can download the BIOS from the website of the maker of the board you buy. 

For example, here is the BOIS update you would need for said MSI H81 motherboard: http://us.msi.com/support/mb/H81MP33.html#down-bios

Use the first download link and update the BIOS.

^Step by step for updating the BIOS. 

Hope that helps!

Oh. so, I can just easily download the BIOS with out any problem ? Thanks. xD

Depends on how much money your time is worth. I'd personally spend the extra $20 and get a H97 board which will work with Haswell refresh processors out of the box. Less hassle and chance of bricking your board if the update fails for any reason
