I bought a I7-4770K, but what cooler would you sugget: i have my mind on a Corsair H100
And im not sure what motherboard i want: the Asus z87-pro or the Msi z87-g45 gaming

are there any big deffrences between the two?

The MSI Z87-G45 Gaming is your best option here, it has the better overclocking abilities and netter overall design. The H100 is a great cooler if you can get it cheap, if not a High end Phanteks or Noctua cooler will be better and cheaper.

If you don't plan on overclocking, you don't need the 4770(K) get the 4770 it's cheaper and you don't need a aftermarket cooler, the stock one will work fine for you.

You also don't need the Z878 chipset, it's designed for overclocking really, so get the MSI B85-G45 Gaming, same design, but a hell of a lot cheaper.

Your build is for overclocking, so if you don't plan on doing any, do what i suggested. It will save you so much money.

thank you very much for the info, for what i have heard the msi board has a few better chips so ill go with that one,

as for the cooler,i metioned the h100 because a friend of mine has got 1 for sale for 55$ never use before so if it cools decent i might just get the h100of him.

i will look into overclocking, but my idea was to get everything running smooth as if comes from the box notoverclocked.

ty wed.
