Requiring help for my PC Build!

CollinMWarunek · January 26, 2016

For my first ever PC build, I need a motherboard that works with my CPU: Intel Core i5-4440 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor

And my Corsair H50 57.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler

Thank you.

1. Are you sure you don't want a 4460, its better and cheaper.

2. https://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-h97plus (more high end board can pick up something asrock matx for like 60)

I really think my CPU is fine, but I will change it if it is cheaper.

Thank you for the motherboard help, but I got one that fits my color scheme, and sorry for not saying it will be black red, my fault.

Now I need a PSU that will fit my Gigabyte GA-Z97X-SLI ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

Having trouble, it keeps saying I need one more Slot for a PCI-1 or something when I choose an EVGA 430W.'

Didn't look through yet, but how many GPUs did you select? Sounds like it's saying you dont have enough connectors for your GPUs

** edit

Just looked at your list, and that's definitely a problem. You'll need a PSU that has at least two 6 pin (or 6+2 pins) connectors. Quick and easy way to find those is to look for SLI ready PSUs. Check this one out; only a few dollars more, and much more powerful and effecient (and will run your two GPUs) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438014

Are you sure you're getting a Z-board for a non-K CPU?

Or are you futureproofing for overclocking?? (if yes, disregard my message)

Please don't SLI 950's. HUGE waste of money. You don't need a Z board for a locked processor, and the performance of 950's in SLI simply isn't worth it for the price.
