- Your mobo was apparently made for overclocking but your processor isn't the K version (3570k); you can either downgrade the mobo to a simpler one, or should upgrade your CPU to the 3570k.
- I don't know if you really need an SSD that massive; the price range jacks up massively once you pass the 120GB mark (like $100 more for ~50GB or so), so I'd either downgrade it (you've got tons of external space) or swap it out for a 7.2k+ RPM HDD (1 TB is like ~$70 tops)
-I feel like you could cut down on a lot of your costs, as $1400 for an i5 build seems kind of expensive. Could you list the USD prices on each part? (rough estimate)
Thanks for the response.
I had no idea about the connection between the mobo and the CPU.
As for the SSD - you might be right. I'll look into my actual C drive usage, I just like the idea of having room enough.
Do you know of any equal or better parts, that could save me money?
Did you see the i7 build?
Here are prices for both:
i5
i7
