New Build

[mason2777]

Hey I'm new here and I plan on building a pc the thing is i cant quite seem to find a motherboard so here's my setup whats the best motherboard for this setup and it's for gaming btw

i7 3770K LGA 1155
Rosewill Lightning 1300w
Radeon HD 7850
Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced



and as for the RAM ill do that later some recommendations would be very nice though =]

and btw my budget is about $1000 right now its at 884.95

What is this PC going to be used for? If it's gaming you're definitely doing it wrong - the i7 will not be of use in a gaming rig. 1300W is massive overkill and Rosewill either makes really good or really bad power supplies depending on the line.

Here's what I would suggest:

The HAF 932 is a good choice. Check out the NZXT Switch 810 as well - a little pricey but the case is tailor made for water cooling.

Actually Rosewill makes a Wifi adapter that's way better constructed than the TP Link is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166068

 

[cutebeans]

How do you know that Rosewill wifi adapters are better constructed??
