Yes all compatible. You can save some money and get an i5 if it's only for gaming.

 

[GRUxTSAR]

What will you be using this build for?

 

[Darkbreeze]

You don't list any specs for the RAM, not even if it's DDR3, so there's no way to determine compatibility yet. Everything else looks good but we'll need to know the type and speed of the RAM. Keep in mind guys, not everybody is from the US and some of the retailers over there, and even here, will gladly sell you incompatible hardware.

Vengeance is only DDR3. I would get a standard SATA SSD rather than an mSATA SSD though.

Duh. I was thinking of Dominator, which is DDR2. My bad. For some reason I was thinking they kept the designation. Momentary lapse of reason. I agree on the drive too. With SSD prices getting so cheap there's no reason to not include a full SSD rather than a hybrid.

mSATA isn't hybrid, but he'd need an adaptor to use it. He could get M.2 with an adaptor but he'd need to make sure he got the correct key and it's pretty expensive per GB at the moment.

Oops, my bad again. I'm too tired. Think it's time to call it a night. I knew that but just wasn't thinking right at the moment. Good luck with the build.

Haha, I have those nights too. I was only looking into m.2 SSD''s recently so i'm still fresh on the subject.

Mostly gaming use 😛

Yea I think youre right, I think I should get a XEON instead 😛. I bet theres none for LGA1150
I think Ill wait till Msata price goes down same level as today's SSD. and an i5-4670K?
I think Ill use the spare money from downgrading from i7 to i5 to get 2133Mhz Vengeance Pro rams?

There are Xeons for LGA 1150, as seen here:

But be careful with that. Although it looks like a good choice on paper, apparently some people are reporting that they suffer in gaming. Personally, I don't see how as most of them support all of the advanced technologies supported by the i5 and i7 chips but I just wanted to mention it as I've read several items related to this lately.

The upgrade to the faster RAM is supported (OC) by the motherboard but it may depend on what CPU you choose as to whether it will work well and be supported. It may also matter as to what configuration of module sizes you go with.

The Xeons shouldn't do bad in gaming. They're LITERALLY i7-4770s (Non K) without an iGPU

 

[Darkbreeze]

A lot depends on your intentions. Most of the specs between the Xeon and i7 are identical. The Xeons however cannot be overclocked and might not be supported on SOME boards.

 

[ADAMMOHD]

I agree with darkbreeze. The intention of creating Intel Xeon was for servers anyways.

 

[byza]

If you were going to get a Xeon i'd look at the E3 1230 V3, which is pretty much an i7 without the intergraded GPU and cannot be overclocked and fits 1150. However since very few games take advantage hyper threading an i5 will give you better performance in gaming. I tend to think of the Xeon series as a budget CPU for rendering and editing or for servers. If you won't be doing a lot of editing or rendering I would stick with the i5.
You don't want mSata, you want m.2 SATA with 'M' key.
If you want to manually OC your RAM than get the Vengeance Pro's or G.Skill Tridents but you won't really see much difference to be honest. I'd put the money towards a Samsung 840 EVO SSD or Crucial MX100.

Isnt Msata is M.2

No. M.2 is in essence the next generation of mSATA. It also has multiple keys and lengths so you need to be careful what M.2 SSD you buy.

 

[Darkbreeze]

Is there actually any reason why you were considering the use of mSATA rather than a standard SATA III SSD?

Msata is faster??

 

[Darkbreeze]

Hmm. I see. I don't know about that. It would depend on model vs model. Some mSATA drives, which were mainly meant for laptops in the beginning, may actually be slower than current SATA III SSDs.
