Is this a good mid to high pc build? plus which GPU shall I accommodate this build with?

Solution


It will be shame to waste such a good motherboard with locked Intel processor. Yes you can keep the 4570.
The Patriot RAM is well known and makes good products

sorry I'm not sure which way to go with the RAM either. I would want certain parts of my build to be future proof and I have already bought the mobo but everthing else can be changed around the mobo.

I would prefer not to overclock my cpu, is their any real need for the i5 4670k or can I keep the 4570? also I'm not to familiar with the Patriot viper brand, could you recommend a more known brand.
