Right, it's time. I've been waiting on 2 things before buying the parts for my new pc...mainly because i'm in no rush, they were:-
1 - Windows 8.1 (coming from Win 7 Ultimate)
2 - C2 Stepping motherboards (may aswell get the latest)
Here's what im saving from my old pc:-
HX850 PSU
Keyboard/Mouse/TV etc
GTX 560Ti 448
Hard drives
Processor Cooler
And here's what i think im getting:-
i5-4670K
MSI Z87-GD65-GAMING or ASUS MAXIMUS VI HERO?
16gb DDR3 Crucial Elite (around £100 on Amazon)
840 EVO 250GB SSD
Sata DVD Drive
Corsair 300R Case (already bought)
I can't decide between the MSI and ASUS mobo. I'm swaying towards the MSI because its cheaper and has a coaxial output rather than just an optical which i don't have spare on my av amp?
Any comments are welcome.
