I don't plan on overclocking and just want the components to run. Is it enough?

The one I posted is Haswell compatible , the one in your build isn't , they are 2 different models.

The newer model is the one I posted.

Newegg has still been sending out some core editions but you want the TS.


Goes to the same ad , just want to make sure you get the right one.
