New rig opions/help?

[Sinnocent Sinno]

So I think I am ready to purchase my order, here is what I've decided to go with.

Anyone think I will have any bottleneckling problems or anything?

MOBO - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157362
CPU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115234
Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811154094

Skipping a new GPU for now, hopefully that won't cause any problems.. its a Geforce GT 430 (Not for gaming, I know that .. now...) and yes, I'm building this for gaming.(Atlough I dont care to run newer games at ultra settings, just want a normal gaming experience.

Thumbs up for all the parts you've chosen. Just get a good GPU later on for this system & you'll be good to go for gaming.! 👍

There will be no bottlenecking at all, only the gpu will but you said you didn't want to upgrade it.

Well, can anyone suggest a good GPU for this setup no more than 100$? I need something better than a GT 430..

hd 7770, but maybe it's better to save some money and buy one later.

Alright, how about a GT 650? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500290

Would that be a worthy upgrade from a Geforce GT 430? Also is it compatible(no bottlenecking?) with the setup I plan on purchasing above? I guess you can tell I'm a newbie.

the hd 7770 is better and would defenatly be a good upgrade from the gtx 430.

GTX 650 =< HD 7770 < GTX 650 TI

Thank you for GPU suggestions, I have decided to go with an EVGA GTX 650Ti (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=14-130-838)

I have another question, I was doing some more detailed research about motherboards. I saw the different chipsets, and the mobo's I was recommended had the B75 chipset, but people are saying if I'm getting a i5 CPU then it would be nonsense not to go with a motherboard with Z77 chipset. I don't know what the differences would be, but is that true? Since I am getting a i5 CPU, I should get a mobo with Z77 chipset?

You should get a Z77 chipset board only if you're buying an unlocked i5 processor (Unlocked multiplier, for overclocking, has a "K" at the end of it's name, like i5 3570k) as you won't be able to overclock the 3570k on a B75 board. But seeing as you're already buying a locked multiplier i5, you're good to go with a B75 board easily.

Here is a list of LGA 1155 chipsets - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1155

Also, on another note, if you have more money to spend on a motherboard, i'd say use that money on a better GPU. Your processor is powerful enough, but your GPU is gonna bottleneck you (especially if you're gaming on 1080p), i'd recommend atleast an AMD 7850 or an Nvidia GTX 660. That would give you a lot more gaming power, & would be a much better match for your i5.

Thank you for that information, yeah.. I don't plan on any overclocking because I don't have any knowledge of it and I'd be too nervous after spending this money(500$ is not a cheap upgrade with my salary).

As for your suggestion on a better GPU, I took it into consideration and did some rearranging in my hardware, this is what I have picked out now, what do you think? Any bottlenecking goin' on here? That's the last thing I want..

RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231488 (1 8gb stick should be enough for this setup, right?)

I went to a cheaper i5 CPU, because I don't need the integrated graphics since I am buying a new GPU..

Don't know how Biostart products are (Looks okay to me though, so thumbs up from my side)
Don't know about that i5 too. Why does it have lower TDP.? Don't have any experience with that one. So you gotta confirm about that. But all in all, it's a fine build.! 👍
