any last help?

[xram67]

I'm just about to buy this build. Ive settled with the z97 mobo in case I want to overclock with a cpu that I get down the road but for right now I just don't see the point in spending an extra 40 dollars for a k series and then have to buy a cpu cooler to overclock it. What do you guys think?

What build?

Not much point in overclocking a CPU unless you're maybe doing software development, and even then you may not notice a difference.

You need a good quality 650W power supply eg Seasonic G 650 or XFX650.

Get a good H97 mobo. Not a crook Z97.

Thanks. I think I'll change my mobo to a h97. Whats wrong with the Corsair psu? For the price it's pretty appealing for a budget and I thought they were a good brand? What about evga?

See http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html#xtor=EPR-8886 The Corsair is not as good quality as those I recommended.
