Hello,

Looking at getting a new CPU and Mobo, Budget is around £400-500. What would be my best bet?

I want to stick with Intel, Looking towards the 4820K or 4770K CPU.

Is the 4820k better?

Thanks
 
Yeah will need Cooler & RAM too. Probally going to get H100i cooler, but they are in a different budget ive set aside £500 for CPU/Mobo.

Was thinking HyperX 16 GB 2400 MHz Quad Channel for RAM.

What mobo would you recommend for the 4770K?

Depends what the PC is for. Here is a few mobo I like:
YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte Z87X-OC Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £157.99
Total : £157.99 (includes shipping : ).



Would be excellent for overclocking if your into that sort of stuff.
YOUR BASKET
1 x Gigabyte G1.Sniper Z87 Intel Z87 (Socket 1150) DDR3 ATX Motherboard £109.99
Total : £109.99 (includes shipping : ).



The G1 sniper has superb sound quality.
 
New stuff? Got any info on this?

Is it the Intel broadwell ? Is it coming in a few weeks? I thought was around Q4

Interesting, Is there an actual release date for this stuff yet ?

Will the h100i still fit the haswell refresh CPUs?
 
They are a refresh, so a few tweaks here and there, a slight clock speed increase, maybe upto 10% better performance.
