You should be fine with your 600w PSU! Even if you were overclocking your CPU to 4.4 GHz, had 4 HDDs, your RAM maxed out and overclocked your GPU you would be under 600w.
If you do not plan on doing any overclocking, I would strongly suggest the i5-4570 instead of the 4670k. Also H87 motherboard instead of a Z87 motherboard. Reasons? Nearly the exact same performance in gaming and same level of features at a lower cost. Better performance per dollar. What you save here you can put into a more powerful graphics card.
If he doesn't overclock he should just focus on things he needs because if it's just audio out, a few USB 2 and 3 ports and 6 Sata ports of which at least 2 sata 3 then a lot of motherboards will work even several H81 and B85 boards. Motherboards hardly differ the overall speed of computer it's mostly a feature thing.
True, there are some decent H81 boards out there that offer really good value per dollar. The only thing is you have to be careful of the quality. Cheaper boards tend to use cheaper components.
It looks as though you double posted this topic. I commented on the other one saying that these parts look good. I didn't take into account the budget. If you are looking for cheaper, ASRock has a Fatal1ty series board with the B85 chipset. You probably wouldn't want to overclock it much, so getting a locked processor would be a better choice with that MB It seemed like a good board when I looked at it, but that was when it first came out, so check some reviews if you're interested in it.
As I said in my other post, you didn't list any RAM. Do you have a plan to get some DDR3, or do you have some already?
There should be a sticker somewhere on your RAM stick(s). You'll need DDR3, preferably 1600 MHz or better. If your computer was built more than ~6 years ago, it might have DDR2. The two types are not interchangeable.
Your GPU uses a PCIe x16 interface, so any MB with a PCIe x16 slot will support it.
As for the i5 and a board to match, it depends on your budget and what your short and long term plans are. You'll have to give some clear answers to all of the following questions:
What is your total budget?
Do you want to get into overclocking?
How long do you plan on going in between this build and the next?
Are you planning to upgrade in the future?
Based on your answers, there are many different options out there. If I can get a more clear idea of what you want, I can give a few recommendations and I'm sure others will pitch in as well. We'll get you set up with something nice!
You're welcome for the help and don't worry about what you can't answer! Your response cleared it up a lot. I'm in class right now and trying to pay attention in addition to typing this, so I didn't take the time to post links, hahaha. Unfortunately, I don't know about European pricing, so maybe someone else can help in that department!
Since you aren't going to be overclocking, I would recommend the i5-4570 or the i5-4670. They are similar except the 4570 is clocked at 3.2 GHz and the 4670 is clocked at 3.4 GHz.
ASRock Fatal1ty B85 Killer. This motherboard has a lot of gaming features and seems like a really good budget friendly option.
Asus Z87-A. Your original pick was a good one.
Asus Z87 Pro. (regular or V edition) A bit more expensive, but if it fits in your budget it never hurts to get a higher quality product.
Gigabyte GA-Z87X-D3H. I like this one because the PCIe 3.0 slots operate at x16 and x8 when you have both populated. If you ever plan on using dual graphics cards, this could be a nice feature, but as of now it won't affect anything. It is also the cheapest one with an Intel network card.
MSI Z87-G55. Don't know much about it, but it seems like it has a lot of good reviews.
I think the Gigabyte looks like the best per dollar performance and features, but I don't have any experience with it and I'm going off of skimmed reviews and the specs page. I know Asus generally makes good products, and I don't think any of the three I listed will be a bad decision (although the Pro and Pro V are a bit more expensive).
Let me know if you have any more questions! Like I said earlier, maybe someone can give some pointers based on European pricing. If anyone has any wisdom regarding my picks feel free to comment!
I based all of my recommendations on the fact that Johiva said that he wants it to last a long time. I think the least resilient of all of my suggestions would be the ASRock B85, and even that one will probably last as long as needed. I feel that those options are best suited to handle future upgrades, including a new CPU. I think the H87s would leave something to be desired in terms of longevity.
Why? The only thing H87 boards lack, compared to Z87 is overclocking. Overclocking on Haswell is overrated and not worth it, IMO. The extra cost required to spend on an aftermarket cooler, an over priced K-CPU with missing features and a more expensive board with beefier VRM's and VRM heat sinks, all for a few extra FPS in gaming just isn't worth it. All that extra money put towards a better graphics card will yield far better gaming performance. Also, any H87 boards can run the highest i7 or xeron chip you want to throw in it. So I really don't get how an H87 board would leave anything to be desired in terms of longevity.
I understand that the chipset can handle it, but I've never seen an H87 board (other than the ASRock Fatal1ty) that has piqued my interest. I don't feel like they are significantly cheaper, and when they are, I feel like there are enough features left out that it doesn't justify the cost saving. Plus, when you go Z87, you also get higher quality components that will last longer. Working in the given budget, I decided that a higher spec MB would be worth a $10-20 more. I'm willing to admit that I don't know everything, so do you have any specific recommendations?
As for the CPU, a few people on here have said don't get a K series if you aren't overclocking and Johiva sounds like he (he, right?) won't be going that route.
I don't think anything will be ruined with a B87 MB. I just think you have a better chance at a more enjoyable overall experience. Plus, if you ever get more into hardware or certain aspects of computing, you'll have a board that you can throw a K series CPU in and get a safe overclock out of. I think that is worth the extra money.
