ACTIONpack Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I'm going to upgrade my desktop computer which I was going to replace my AMD Ph. X4 for an AMD XP 4.0Ghz but I see Microcenter has an i7 3775K 3.5Ghz for $229. I only a motherboard and RAM and new casing. Already have an GeForce GTX 650ti. Also have a 128GB SSD ForceGT. Intel i7 3775K http://www.microcenter.com/product/388575/Core_i7_3770K_35GHz_LGA_1155_Processor GigabyteGA-Z77X-UD3H http://www.microcenter.com/product/387556/GA-Z77X-UD3H_LGA_1155_Z77_ATX_Intel_Motherboard Corsair XMS3 (2) 8GB RAM http://www.microcenter.com/product/386315/XMS3_Series_16GB_DDR3-1600_(PC3-12800)_CL_11_Dual_Channel_Desktop_Memory_Kit_(Two_8GB_Memory_Modules) $472 which keeps me under $500 mark for a reall high end machine. Is this good? If not anything would you change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YounGMessiah Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I would get another motherboard, but thats my opinion the 3770K is a good deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YounGMessiah Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 If you want to stick with Gigabyte, I would suggest the one higher than the one you picked http://www.microcenter.com/product/386359/GA-Z77X-UD5H_LGA_1155_Z77_ATX_Motherboard http://www.microcenter.com/product/387555/Z77_Pro4_LGA_1155_ATX_Intel_Motherboard or http://www.microcenter.com/product/393422/P8Z77-V_LK_LGA_1155_Z77_ATX_Intel_Motherboard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
