I am far from a power user (currently using an i5-2300) and I am getting this board for xmas, has nothing to do with the oc potential i just love the look of the board.

Probably, I like what I see so far I am excited to see what thee inside looks like at CES, i will get this case day one to replace my 800D.

Here is the first look at the 900D http://www.overclock.net/t/1297712/mizukicommunity-corsair-900d-godzilla-unveiled/870 page 88 post 872

Thank you for the feedback.:D

Thank you for your feedback, it is very much appreciated :D, i was thinking the 3770k also.

I am not getting the mobo because it is the most expensive, one of the reasons are because of its color scheme (look).my parents every year give me a $1000 budget for xmas/birthday (my bday is the 15th) the total of both this year with the mobo is $600.

As far as I know haswell will be socket 1150 (but i like to be a few steps behind on technology i would still be on p55 if my asus maximus formula III/i5-760 didn't fry) i don't plan on upgrading to haswell till at least 2014, as far as upgrades i mentioned in my opening message, i will be...

"i do not plan on upgrading cpu currently as I do not see anything majorly better than what I have". I meant GPU lol, not CPU.

I talked to my parents before putting these items on my xmas list and they said the price of the parts was fine.

Valid points, the processor i have now has no problems and that is why if I do upgrade the cpu wont be for a few months I just wanted to have a CPU that can hit 3.5ghz-4.0 ghz on xmas day ill try and see if i can get my i5-2300 to at least 3.5 if so I will be happy. I just like the look of the...

Valid points, I really like the look of the up7 though, most of this stuff I am getting for xmas and none of the parts I will be paying for, Ill prob get into haswell in 2014 i like to stay a few steps behind, (I would actually prob still be on p55 if my Maximus III formula/i5-760 didn't short...

the Z77X-UP7 is a flagship for gigabyte http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128569&Tpk=z77%20up7, the top of the line (by price) for gigabyte on X79 or Z77

Honestly I would, do you know if a 15-2300 is capable of OCing at least to 3.5-4.0 ghz? (which I hope is possible considering the mob i willbe getting). if so I will keep it, I think haswell will be LGA 1150 from what I heard could be wrong though,

Hi everyone, I am undergoing a new build and my last part which I have not decided on is the CPU first I will give the specs of my system which i plan to have finished in the next month or two CASE-800D, (getting 900D whenever that is available day one) CPU- currently i5-2300 Memory-...
