CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($224.99 @ Newegg) 
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i 77.0 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler ($89.99 @ NCIX US) 
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($140.98 @ Newegg) 
Memory: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($70.55 @ Newegg) 
Storage: Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($89.99 @ Amazon) 
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.98 @ OutletPC) 
Case: Corsair 400R ATX Mid Tower Case ($89.99 @ Microcenter) 
Power Supply: Corsair CX 750W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ Microcenter) 
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer ($19.98 @ OutletPC) 
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($82.98 @ OutletPC) 
Monitor: Asus VX238H 23.0" Monitor ($187.80 @ TigerDirect) 


Note: Not all of these parts were purchased at or will be purchased at these prices.

You may notice there is no video card on here, because I have yet to make a decision on what I want (and prices are skyrocketing due to bitcoin mining.) Also, the monitor and cpu cooler are still up in the air. So any suggestions would be appreciated.  :D

Another question I have is will 1.6v ram be compatible with the haswell chips? Other ram im looking at is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231445 (just went on sale too  :lol:)

Looks good. Also, I would change the case from a 400R to a 300R Window.

And also, why. I know Windows 7 is almost EOL, but it's still a great OS. Maybe he dislikes Windows 8.1.

1) Go with lower frequency on the RAM (go as I as you can while still having a CL rating of 9).

 

2) Go with a 250 GB EVO drive. The speed is cut in half when the SSD goes from 240/256 too 120/128 :(

 

3) Ditch the Optical drive if you don't know if you will need or not. You can install Windows of a flashdrive for example ;)

 

4) Don't know shit about the monitor myself, but the CPU cooler is epic so if you can afford then go with it :D

 

5) As for a GPU I would suggest not getting anything that is good for mining (Stay away from 7950 in particular) if you ain't going to mine yourself as those are just very overpriced nowadays... Maybe a 280X/a 280 or a 770? :)

Thats what I needed to hear. Thanks!

Get some CL9 ram, 1600 is fine. There isn't enough performance difference to justify the extra price.

It's been confirmed by Intel employees that 1.65v ram works perfectly fine with Haswell. The specification is just there so people don't overvolt their ram like hell for overclocking.

What's the system being used for?
