get an h100 instead of the cm cooler there are nicer cases for that budget other than that its great

[CoolBeans]

Get a H100i and a 4670k that is my only input

Great? When a 4670K That performs better than a 3570K and costs the exact same? I'm sorry but that's not great

actually 10 dollars then you have to take motherboards into account that same motherboard on lga 1150 is 60 bucks for so 70 dollars more for ehh performance

The H100 is awful.

The H100 is awful.

I like it

[Humbug]

I prefer the h100i. Cools better and looks better in a windowed case.

yeah the h100 does cool better but its more expensive and I thin the h100 looks better plus the h100i has an easier mounting bracket system

Get better psu. Thats one component you'll be using for long time. Bronze certification is ok, but with high end build gold is better. Also think when you will be doing mobo-ram-cpu upgrade next. If you are planning on getting new cpu next year, then Haswell would be better since you don't have to upgrade ram-mobo. If you'll be skipping 1150gen, you're ok with Ivy. And get 840 Pro. If you want to go cheap on something, I suggest leaving BD reader out. Unless you'll buy lots of BD movies.

Where exactly are you finding a 4670k for 189? they're 239.99 on almost every site lol.

My input: If you have 100$ extra buy haswell, if not stay with 3570k seeing as its still a good performer and overclocker.

I believe the 4670k is 20% more expensive than the 3570k, but you only see about a 10% improvement, although you use less power, so if energy is expensive where you live buy the 4670k, if not then it doesn't matter: Source: cpu boss 4670k vs 3570k : annual energy costs 100$ vs 75$.

If you're not doing crazy serious stuff a 760/770 would be good, but if you plan on multi monitor or 2560x1440 resolution stick with your 780
