Hi,
I have asked a lot on this site in the past, so I though one last time before I purchase any hardware, I would ask. With the help of a lot of people on this forum I've come up with an upgrade to this:
Intel DQ35JO
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 2.5GHz
Geil 4GB 800MHz
GIGABYTE GTX 560Ti
Kingston V300 64GB (system)|WD 5000AAKS-00A7B0 ATA
Samsung Drive
Chieftec CTG-450-80P

The upgrade:
i5-4570/ i5-4570S/ i5-4440 I dont know?
GIGABYTE GA-B85-HD3 - Intel B85
Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 CL9

Could anyone elaborate?
I don't need a mobo with all shiny features, just a simple öption to overclock will do. Also will I need a new HDD? What about the RAM? What processor - how big a jump will it be from my current one?
 


To overclock you need a K processor

An ssd will make you see a big performance/speed increase, compared to your old build you should see a good performance boost

For a solid OC ability get a Z87 motherboard

Thank you for the answer :) so fi I am not going to get a K processor, I wont be able to overclock - so if I were to choose the i5-4570 for instance, should I just get the cheapes motherboard on the market? Or could the motherboard slow something down?
Becuase if I won't be able to overclock anyways, there probably isn't any reason for me to spend that much on a mobo.
And if I may ask, what would be your recommendation for a mobo - for the i5-4570 for instance, without overclocking or any other unnecesary features?
Thank you so much for helping me in this matter :)

 


If youre not overclocking then

ASRock Fatal1ty H87
