I am making a low budget desktop and I want to make sure that all the parts are compatible with each other before buying. I have never dealt with micro ATX before and would like to hear your thoughts. Intel Core i3-4330 Haswell 3.5GHz LGA 1150 54W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics...

You might know that when cpu manufacturer make chips, they test it. Depending on the result and the amount of defect, they will label these cpu differently. For example, if an i5 is well made, they will label it 3570k, but if the frequency of it cannot go as high, label as 3350p. I was...

Because along with the 680, your psu cannot feed the system enough power.

EVGA 680 recommend a minimum of 550W PSU. Even though you might be able to make do with a slightly less watt, I dont think 460W PSU from your HP will do, especially if your system is under load.

If your motherboard support dual channel, then 2X4GB will be 2x faster. So 2X4GB is the better option. Most boards now have dual channel.

it should be the same because your board is only dual channel and not quad channel.

each one runs its own frequency, most of the time they run at different frequency too depending on the task given to them.

if you dont overclock, then the stock fan will be enough, if you are just a normal gamer, then overclocking it wont give you noticable increase in performance. if you need to run some program that requires alot of cpu power, then overclocking and watercooling would be a good choice. if you...

yes, those parts are a good match for each other overall. if you are planning to overclock your cpu since its the K series. then you might want to get an aftermarket heatsink to go with it. be sure to buy a heatsink that will actually fit your case since its a mid case and might not fit the...
