Will this bottleneck?

[Alec Laflamme]

I am planning on building a system with the following components:

Zotac GeForce GTX 770 2GB DDR5
Intel Core i5 4570
ASUS H87-PLUS LGA 1150 Motherboard

I'm just wondering if the i5 chip I've chosen will bottleneck my 770. Do i absolutely need to spend the extra money on a 4670 series chip? i probably won't be over clocking as i don't like to shorten the life of the system. Also, anyone know anything about this motherboard? it seems decent to me but I'm not entirely sure. Thanks in advanced.

It wont bottleneck.

-If you are not going to overclock, go with i5 4670 (non K) version
-If you are going to ger non K i5, than you can get much cheaper motherboards with chipsets of B85, or H87
-K or non K i5 3 and 4 generation will not bottleneck with even GTX780ti or GTX Titan

Okay thanks, so I'm spending the extra money for the 4670 non k version. will either of these boards fit with the gtx 770 I've chosen?

just wondering because their micro Atx.

Or would i be better to stick with one of these:

Anyways whats anyone's opinion on which of these two Atx and what M-atx boards are better if it will fit my card?

Every one of the motherboards will support the GTX 770, just the B75 will not support i5 4670. That B75 chipset is for intel 3 generation Ivy Bridge
If you are on budget, get this one

Btw i can see you are from Canada. Do you have to buy pc parts from that store? and what is your budget?

 

[Alec Laflamme]

Thanks for your help! ill probably just spend the extra 10$ for the bigger sized board so i don't regret it later. Glad to know that the h87 plus wasn't necessary for non over clocking.

 

[Alec Laflamme]

It doesn't have to be from that store however it seems to be the cheapest place that I've shopped around at when compared to NCIX, Tigerdirect, Newegg, Canadacomputers, and a few others. Did you have any other suggestions? my budget is 800$ however i have to add a cheap computer case in with those parts as well.

 

[maurelie]

Just to make sure, you are planing to spend extra $10 on the b85 plus?

 

[Alec Laflamme]

Ya i'd rather spend 10$ for the bigger board than regret it later. is the b85 plus a better buy than the h87? they are the same price.

 

[maurelie]

Just to ask you some other questions, if that is all right for you?

-For what purposes will the PC be used for?
-Do you mind going with AMD build?
-Do you need: OS, Monitor or other parts?
-Does budget stays fixed at $800

 

[Alec Laflamme]

This machine is mainly going to be for gaming. Right now i have a less powerful AMD build with a fx 4350 and a 7850 gpu. Im switching out the mobo, cpu and gpu. my dad is then going to use what parts that were from my old system to upgrade his own. This leaves me with enough spare parts to build a third pc with what we don't use in either two machines. 800$ is what id like to stay at. Also, i prefer an intel/Nvidia build but i am open to suggestions. I have windows keys left from buying them in bulk when they were 39$. Also, i already own a monitor.

Hope i answered everything properly without confusing you further haha. Again thanks for taking your time to help me out.
