z97 and h97 motherboards shouldn't have issues with the Haswell Refresh cpus. The debug codes are at least displayed, so you will need to work with that information. For example, code 55 means that the motherboard is not reading any RAM. Try fixing that first by putting only a single stick in...

Benchmarks for the 4600. Note that these benchmarks use LOW settings on games. http://www.anandtech.com/show/7963/the-intel-haswell-refresh-review-core-i7-4790-i5-4690-and-i3-4360-tested/7

Your question is phrased weirdly. Are you asking about z87 vs z97 and h87 vs h97? As for z97 vs z97 express and h97 vs h97 express, there are no differences. The 'express' does not mean anything, they are the same intel chip. Some people just call chipsets by their full name, like "intel z97...

The 750K is black edition. That means no fan and heatsink included. You have to reuse your current one, and you will need the replace the thermal paste. If you want a new cooler, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO fits socket FM2, and it also includes a tube of adequate quality thermal paste as well.

You have a motherboard and PSU perfect for an SLI rig. Have you considered getting a 2nd GTX 660 for an SLI?

A lot of games CTD. Did you consider if it is a software problem? There are lots of info around on what can cause Skyrim to CTD.

I'm gonna keep using BF4, even though its a year old, its still a pretty good benchmark for current cards. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kF8En3Heffo The card is only a 280x. I think the original question is meant to be "if the i3 will severely limit the 280x", which is no, because the i3 can...

Get the HX7-T800 before they change their mind. It has: Better processor than the Qosimo. Better Memory than the Valkyrie. Better SSD and HDD than both the Valkyrie and the Qosimo. Better Video card than both the Valkyrie and the Qosimo.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZxqHiE8YWM yes EDIT: oops, he's using a discrete gpu. EDIT2: nvm, my mistake. he's not using a discrete gpu.

Yeah I'm not sure why AMD decided to build and design APUs in the first place. Are they trying to lower their own Radeon GPU sales? I think that's a very bad direction that they took, in terms of business.

No. http://www.techspot.com/review/734-battlefield-4-benchmarks/page6.html

Your motherboard M2N68-LA (Narra) is an AM2 socket. I am not sure how the 6600K fit in there. EDIT: I'll explain more thoroughly. The AMD 6600k is a socket FM2 processor. It fits in FM2 socket motherboards only. Your computer has a near-obsolete AM2 socket motherboard. If it did not get...

Hold on, how did you know that the fangbook is better just from the little information he/she gave us? You need to type what model the fangbook and valkyrie is.

So you are using a video card that is only one expansion slot thick, that can do quad-sli. I assume that's what you want to do because you are insisting on fitting 4 cards with only 7 slots. There are some Japanese video cards manufacturers that turn what is usually 2 slots wide cards into only...
