Looks good, but why not go for a i5 4690K and a Z97 motherboard? (so you can overclock)

how much extra would a 4690z and Z97 cost? is overclocking really worth it?

 

theres an incompatibility with BIOS i don't undersand. what's going on?

 

also, i live in switzerland (outside the EU) so i have to illegally import parts from other countries, and germany seems cheaper.

 

 

you can edit this one
