I agree with the Sabertooth Z87.

That is a hard debate as all three are really good motherboards. I bought the Z87 Sabertooth last week and got home to find out that for my birthday, I had received the Gigabyte G1. Sniper 5. In this case, I'm going to sell the Z87 Sabertooth, though I know it is a great board.

The Sniper series has come a long way as far as quality. Keep in mind that the B5 is the lowest in the Sniper series, for the price that is listed $195, I'd most likely go for something like a Gigabyte UD4, or something in the Asus brand around $150, since you don't tend to overclock that non-k...

I have to ask why your motherboards don't ship with stand-offs; especially a board like the G1.Sniper 5?

You are welcome. I'm buying one for a build that I'm working on.

My son uses this one on his gaming machine and it works real good. Amazon currently has it for $40ish but every few days they drop into int the $20ish range...

If I remember right, that board has wifi module that doesn't have any external antenna. It could be that something is now interfering with your wifi signal strength or that the wifi module on the board itself is not working as good as before. I know that you bought the board for the built in...

You are now back to square one. You mentioned the "future". In the future when those holograaphic drives come out that you speak of, everything you are buying now will be prehistoric. I have to ask why do you need to have a blu-ray drive? There is no way I would build a computer today and...

I guess you have to expect to pay a hefty price for a motherboard for a $1000+ CPU.

I like the intel i-5 3570k for it's overall performance vs price point. Out of the CPU's you listed, the i3-3225 or i3-3220 will both do just fine for gaming.

Khzak, you originally wanted a decent build in the $800-850 price range. Well, your last build you listed is already over cost. It looks like you've decided on the 3570K CPU, overkill for gaming but yet a great CPU that easily overclocks. So no savings there. You don't need the liquid...

I wouldn't worry about replacing your PSU and I agree that the 7950 is a good choice. You asked if you should keep your current GTX560ti or upgrade. Does your current configuration work well for what you use if for? If it does, why the need to upgrade at all. If it doesn't, then keeping the...

Were the pics shot in RAW or JPEG? If RAW make sure you are using a program that reads RAW files.

Motherboards for the Haswell will be the new socket LGA 1150 with Z87, H87, Q87 chipsets.
