May be i3 ?
Used are fine too ?
What Haswell CPU will be.
I do not want any cripple CPU like Celeron or Pentium!
Thanks
The usage will be Web Browsing, U Tube, Hi-Def Video PlayBack
Thanks

It would been perfect if only had 4 memory socket.

Doesn't make much sense to me to spend more on RAM than CPU + motherboard combined. Two 8GB sticks of DDR3 should be plenty for a very long time. Probably longer than the CPU will be relevant and useful.

Honestly though, for your uses, a Pentium would probably be more than enough. It's only in rare cases that I can tell any difference between the Pentium-based machines I've built and my i5 in day-to-day tasks such as youtube and web browsing.

You think you'll need more than 16Gb of ram?
 
Okay I am busted; yes I was not very clear; what I exactly plans I have for it.
I have a HP HP EliteDesk 800 G1 which is a Small Form Factor PC. ( I can't install 7970 GPU) :whiste::twisted:
It has i5-4570 and 32 GB memory
It has Q87 Chipset.
I think it can only take Haswell CPU
I would like to Down Grade this computer to i3 and give to my 6 year old daughter for Dora etc video ......
I have 4 Gig DDR3 which I can through in there. which I think will good enough with 128 GB SSD and Win 7.
I will pull it out the CPU and Memory, and installed in different system (Which I am going to build it) only need a MB and Case.
So this with New i5-4570 I will use for game (Diablo 3) and VMware (4 Cisco Collaboration servers)
 
Xeon is your best bang for buck CPU hands down if you do not wish to overclock. It gives i7 performance for i5 prices.

A Haswell Celeron will heavily drop 720/60p or 1080/60p frames. An i3 4170 will only drop a couple but there are no hitches. So that would be the minimum CPU with 8GB of plain KVR RAM and a basic H81 mobo. Which is precisely what I built for myself. Seeing as Skylake i3s should be here this month you may want to wait for it.

Better wait for skylake i3. Google VP9 gpu assisted decode is a very nice feature. High quality/fps youtube videos will play with minimal cpu load.
Skylake's igp is heavily updated compared to haswell's.
