rozsef Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 2x4gb ram for dual channel and an ssd is highly recommended Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearly Gates Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 yep, ssd is useful. Im not sure but i think i have the Benq monitor, its good. Win8 is not that awesome. if its (way) cheaper, get win7 Wifi adapter, yeah its not expensive but i'd highly reccomend lan 760 is good, idk about the brand tho Maybe another Cpu cooler if you wanna overclock(if you want to) The rest is fine i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pyrocide Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 p8z77-v w/ built in wifi 129.99 after rebates 2x4gb ripjaw 1600 74.99 + 10% off promocode Gonna add +1 to SSD Its not a k nor is it a z87 board; no reason for a better cooler. i5-3570K + z77 chipset I would assume by this choice he is going to overclock. The 212 is the best for the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
