I am buying a stick of (new hyperX fury) ram from a friend so thats the ram out the window, I like my case thank you very much and want a good PSU (the one i have is gold efficency) and im going for a red build. I will consider the i5 so that upgrading my CPU is easy but tbh I will probs stick with the build plans I have.

The efficiency is not an issue, and this PSU has a good jonnyguru review. It is well worth it to drop some other costs to get a significantly better CPU. The RAM you chose is overpriced for what it is

I understand that effiency is not an issue but PSUs are one of the only things worth "future-proofing" in my opinion. I'd rather buy a more expensive PSU and keep it for a few years. Also could you help me find a LGA 1150 mobo that is either all black or is black and red that is cheap? And I'm getting 16GB of ram, theres not taling me out of it

If you want to future proof a PSU, get a Corsair RM 1000 or Corsair AX 1200i.... that is FUTURE PROOF... you can run any card you want in CF or SLI, have loads of HDDs, plenty of OC headroom. Total stability and best of all... the AX series is black and red :P

Dual 770s 2GB is pointless - 2GB is already not enough

Why Wi-Fi? Use Ethernet.

I physically can not use ethernet and im not talking about dual 770s (when you add two graphics cards together in SLI doen't it use the least amount of vram possible so it wouldn't be 4GB)

THE ONE I LISTED IS 16GB OF RAM. IT'S ALSO CHEAPER. THAT PSU WILL LAST YOU FOREVER

whatever.

 

Haswell is dead. buying parts for a dead platform is well. foolish.

 

LGA 1151 will get new parts over the next 3-4 years.... haswell wont, unless intel does a 180 and decides to revive it. Which makes no sense from any standpoint.

Dead? Its not a Pentium 4, its is not irrelevant because a new generation of processor came out.

Dead?

Dead. as in "no new parts are being made"

 

Haswell, aka i5 4xxx is DEAD.

there is no future for it.

 

you got ONE upgrade path. and that is a 4790k. Anything else is just wasting time, and wasting money.

 

 

FX is equally dead in the upgrade department. however getting a FX 6300 is more about getting "cheap acceptable performance" then it is securing the future.

Haswell spreads over the i3, i5 and i7 range, i will have plenty of CPUs to upgrade to (if i go for the i5)
