My i5 750 was doing perfectly fine, but I'm a baby and love spending money on computer things. So my brother gets that and I get:
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H Motherboard (Cheapest LGA 1150 board available, w/e it does it's job. UEFI is kinda cool)
Intel i5 4670k, barely overclocks at all (I'm at 4.00 stable from 3.5 stock.), and I really shoulda just saved 20 bucks and got a non- k model. But man, gotta have K.
Corsair 16gb (2x8) DDR3 1600 kit, "ValueSelect". I've gotten the cheapest ram possible for a decade now, always of this brand, never done me wrong. Running JK in a ramdisk is p.lol.
Samsung 840 SSD, 250GB. I was using this in my Macbook while I waited for Haswell to release, now it's in my desktop and holy damn is it amazing.
All in my old Antec 300 case. A good case
Still using my """old""" GTX 660 and Blu-Ray drive (lol physical media.)
Anybody got the lowdown on monitors? I would love to get a new one but have no idea what's good or not.
