1. You have an LGA 1150 socket paired with an LGa1155 CPU, this won't work, either you get a z77/LGA1155 Motherboard or you get a Haswell CPU(~4670k).

2. Get this PSU, http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182068
it is Haswell ready if you are planning to go for Haswell.

3. I would get a GTX760 for similar price.
Something like this would do. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121775

4.Good luck!

DON't get this motherboard.it's incompatible with Ivy bridge.Ivy bridge will work with 1155 socket not the 1150!!

Okay thank you! This is what I have now , http://pcpartpicker.com/parts/partlist/, does that link work?? and what is the difference between the GPUs???

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130653, this MB though.

Your previous build is good, just change the CPU or Motherboard. The new build of yours aren't as good. Your PSU is too low. You should stick with your old one, or the one I recommend earlier. Get a cheaper motherboard too, like an MSI Z77-IA is pretty decent or the Asrock mITX version, I wouldn't recommend going for the $200 Asus one. While you are getting a cheaper motherboard, you could have spend that money on getting a better GPU.

Okay, now im confused, would there be anyway you could link me the correct build on pcpartpicker?

 

[vinhn]

As you can see from toms' review here:
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-760-review-gk104,3542.html

and reviews around the net, you can see the 760 is on par with the 7950, and blows the 660 out of the water for almost the same price.

 

[Garrett19]

So this build checks out?? Ill look into that other gpu, thank you so much!

 

[vinhn]

Here this is want I would build for your budget of $1200.

That build is sweet! my budget is only about 850 though.

 

[vinhn]

Oh ok, what is your current build then?

 

[vinhn]

Tell you what, just make sure your build have atleast 500W. A motherboard that is an LGA1155 socket for Ivy bridge and an LGA1150 for Haswell. If you can stretch your budget, I highly recommend getting a GTX760.

 

[Garrett19]

That is absolutely perfect. The only thing I still stand is that change the 7870XT to the GTX760. It offers a better performance than the 7870XT and is for the same price. GPU Boost 2.0 would even bridge the gap between the 2 cards even further. If you prefer AMD over NVIDIA, there is nothing wrong with the 7870XT.

Okay thank you so much for your time, ill look more in the the two GPUs. Take care!
