ANIR0X2K00L :
I am in 9th, so my dad sets me a budget and I buy my PC, i wont be allowed to change my pc anytime soon cause i would have to focus on studies. So thats the reason why money dosent matters for the cpu and i will be keeping it for 5 to 6 years.
And everyone has convinced me to go with the 4770k, thank you very much for that. Can u please suggest a motherboard. I know that no z87 motherboards are out yet, but brands like rog make yearly improvements to their motherboards like the maximus series which i am really interested in especially the formula board. Is there any other good motherboard out there (i do have a budget so i just cant buy anything).
And i will be getting a 120hz moniter maybe the 1080p one or wait for the resolution to be updated so i do need fps, plus i am going to record game for youtube at 60 fps.
If you look at the current lineup of Asus Z77 boards, you will get an idea of what to expect from them when the next series is released.
Maximus V Extreme - If you plan on watercooling your PC, the Maximus V Formula is a good choice. One of the main advantages of the Maximus V Formula is that it supports 2x PCI-E 3.0 x16 slots and up to 4-way SLI or Crossfire. Almost every other Z77 board will split the lanes into 2 x8 which is how the CPU was designed. The Maximus V Formula adds a "PLX" chip which allows either GPU to run at the full x16 speed when needed. And, every other board will only support 3 or less SLI or Crossfire. Also, this board will allow you to push the limit of overclocking with the built in water blocks if you combine it with a quality CPU water cooler. It also comes with a built in WIFI receiver. This is the most expensive and the most feature packed. I'm sure Asus will come out with a 1150 version when Intel releases the chipset.
Maximus V Gene - Is an Extreme minus built in WIFI and the PLX chip.
Sabertooth - This is a "military grade" board due to a plastic "armor" they cover it with. There are two little fans in it that circulate air. Underneath, it is basically an Asus P8Z77-V Pro chipset which cost about $15 less. This board comes with a
5 year warranty as opposed to the Maximus V series' 3-year warranty and the P8Z77-V series' 3-year warranty. The warranty was one of the main reasons I got one.
P8Z77-V series - there are several versions such as the Deluxe, Pro, LE, V, and couple others. Part of the differences between them are in the components used on the board itself such as capacitors and other electronic components that do the same thing but cost less and might not last as long or might limit the board's functionality. Most of them have the same features, graphical user interface BIOS, built in sound card, etc. Some of them might have less USB 3.0 ports, USB 2.0 ports, no VGA D-Sub port, no eSATA, less on board SATA 6.0 GB/s, less PCI slots, no thunderbolt, etc. For example, one might have HDMI and DVI and D-Sub while another will only have HDMI and Display Port (such as the Sabertooth).
If you are getting a discrete video card, then the display ports are not an issue for you since you will be using the dGPU. You say you are planning on keeping it as is, with no upgrades, for 5 years or more. This means only one GPU and the Haswell CPU. There really is no point in getting the Maximus V unless you are doing some insane liquid overclocking like 5.0 GHz or more. But, even if you are, any Z77 with the right BIOS will be capable of it, you just won't have a water cooled chipset. I think the only real advantage of the Maximus is multi-GPU, which is why it is geared toward hard core gamers. You should decide on what sound card you want, if you are going with built in. All of these boards have different sound outputs. Some have full surround and some just have in, out and mic. In the end, I may be a little biased, but a Sabertooth will be guaranteed to last for 5 years even if it breaks down. Plus you are only using one GPU. It has plenty of USB 3.0 and 2.0 ports, 2 eSATA ports, full surround sound, HDMI and display port and is reasonably priced. That's my choice if they come out with an 1150 version.
