This is my second pc build. I already purchased the motherboard - z87n-wifi, ram - corsair vengeance 4gb single module, psu - silverstone st45sf, and my case Lian li pc-09 (modded, cannot fit ATX PSU anymore) I am having problem with my budget. I am looking to get i5-4670k but without a graphics card, if I will get the i3-4130 I could get a graphics card like GTX 650 which do you prefer? If I get the i5 I can overclock my pc but which cooler do you prefer? many said I should get a water cool, this is my first time please help me.  :)

I would get the i5, then get a graphics card later on.

I would get the i3 and wait until you can get a faster graphics card. i have the same motherboard and the same cpu and the 650 would just bottleneck any i5.
get the fastest radeon card you can get for your money and buy an i3.

Do you have a link for the case?

 

I would get the i5. As @Ryan Leech said, it's easier to add a gpu afterwards. An i5 system is going to last longer than an i3 and most do not upgrade just a cpu.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.

You could get a 8320?But then you would have to get a GPU.

He already has the motherboard.

 

@ordz Is it too late to return what you have?
