Doubt you'll find a "decent" (not sure which features you specifically want on your mobo as you didn't mention them) 1155 socket motherboard as it's a rather "outdated" socket. I would just keep using it till it actually dies or till you get the money for a 1150 socket motherboard + i5 (4440...

i5 4690K = 4 Cores / 4 Threads i7 4790 (K??) = 4 Cores / 8 Threads Streaming and Video editing do get a performance boost from more threads. Keep an eye on the K and non-K versions of the CPU's. You mentioned you wanted to OC and the 4790 you linked can't be overclocked. Look for the K...

Seems it can hold a push or a pull config but a pushpull seems rather tight. Might wanna make sure you do the measurements. The H110 comes with the long enough screws needed for a push OR a pull config. Also the noctua fans don't come with long screws and only come with rubber mounts (which are...

Yup, those Noctua's are the best. I have them on my H110 in just a pull config and it's the most silent part of my cooling system compared to the other case fans that is. Just a tip: use the fan header splitter (you get one for each fan Noctua fan) on the CPU fan header so both fans run equally...

Your dad is right, depends on the motherboard. Let's say you have 4 DIMM slots that operate in dual channel. Meaning it needs atleast 2 slots filled to operate at full speed / bandwith. So if the motherboard says it's dual channel it's best to get 2 x 2gb (with the same specs ofcourse) for...

Most likely a rebrand from a good Seasonic unit. Which most PSU's by brands like Corsair, Coolermaster or anything else are. I'm not to familiar with Zalman PSU's. I do know they make good cheap cases. But if it's on the Tierlist it's solid. Personally i'd go with a bit more expensive Corsair...

Should run those on high 1080p. Overclocking RAM is pretty easy using the new BIOS. Manual of the motherboard should also contain info about that. PSU Tierlist Try to get a Tier 1 or 2 model.

I would get a GTX780 instead and not SLI. Single card is still better then a dual card configuration. The PSU is enough for a single GTX780. If you stay with the GTX770 and you do want to put another one in later on you need atleast 850w. 1000w is overkill unless you are running a power hungry...

SSD defo.

Since the motherboard is an dual channel architecture and since gaming (not sure if you plan to game) does benefit from 1600mhz RAM it's better to grab a 2x4gb RAM kit on 1600mhz. You will get full bandwith to these chips. You will still be able to upgrade to 4x4 for a total of 16gb in the...
