Hi Guys
Having not built a Pc since C2Q6600 would you mind taking a butchers at this little lot and tell me if it will be fine ... not decided which case to go for yet .. low power and silence is appealing .. its just going to be used for general office use.
It won`t be getting clocked thanks

Looking at this i think this will work, i don't have a great experience but from my knowledge i say YES.

Should be fine

Yes it will work, but with the H67 board you be able to overclock the cpu.

No glaring problems from this end.

Looks good.

Case wise, i think the Lian Li is the smaller of the two and for your uses probably better.And you don't have to wait for it to be released.

Thanks appreciate it.

It'll work, but you can't really overclock that much on that motherboard. So no point with a K CPU. And the space is limited for a CPU cooler in the Q11.

The Prodigy is a bigger case, but it also means you can add a graphics card to it, as well as a big CPU cooler.

Q11 for HTPC / office, with locked CPU and H77, Bitfenix for gaming and performance with Z77 and 3570K.

Am undecided which case to go for can`t see me waiting for the Bitfenix tbh

As it's being used for office (general use), i don't see a GPU being added anytime soon.

The K version comes with HD 4000 graphics where the non k (3550) comes with HD 2500. The 3570k will keep its value more, in the long run too.

Fair enough. You can probably add a small passive card, like a 6570 or such.
