Finally somebody is actually building a build with the Pentium 20th anniversary edition!!

Yeah I would say it's good for games like planetside 2 on mediumish settings 1080P

However, if you can afford it, I recommend going to z97 motherboard so you have future upgrade capability to the new broadwell cpus coming in the next year or two.

Thanks with this or the z97 would either plug into to TV with hdmi

All lga 1150 mobos (that I can think of) have hdmi so that shouldn't be a problem.

OK thanks for your help

Yes, you plug the hdmi cable into the graphics card not the motherboard, and your graphics card has 1 hdmi port.

Anyway, +1 for TechInAZ's suggestion, and this does look like a decent mid/low end build for playing games you suggested on medium settings with good framerates.

I forgot about the graphics card duu, I kept thinking he was only using the igpus hdmi to the TV but that wouldn't work for gaming lol.

Thx for the support.
